Netball players hit the road

By JANE MARREN

One of the premier events of the netball representative calendar has finally arrived and Noosa has teams competing in the 13 and 14-year-old divisions.
The Suzuki State Age Championship is a three-day event from 6 to 8 June that brings together the best of Queensland’s Representative teams.
Associations may enter one team into the 13 to 18-year-old age groups.
The event is hosted at different locations each year and this time they are heading south to the Hinterland District Netball Association at Mudgeeraba.
With games being played across the Saturday, Sunday and Monday it’s sure to be a busy weekend and a great experience for all the players.
It’s a wonderful opportunity to further develop their netball skills and to see how their peers in the same age divisions are performing.
The girls started training in February and have competed at several one-day carnivals at Pine River, Brisbane and at Maroochydore in preparation for this event. Noosa’s younger 12 years team will also be competing in its own premier event – the Challenge Carnival over the weekend of 10 to 12 July.
