Netball By Laycee

This season  our school netball teams are very lucky to have  two really good coaches.There are two teams, the year 5 team and the year 6 team. Year 5s do coaching on a Tuesday and games on a Wednesday. The year 6 team does coaching on a Wednesday  and games on a Saturday. I’m in the year 5 team. We’re called the Golden Ferns and we have a pink netball. I think we’re doing really well that's why I think you should join your school netball team.
