Netball Victoria School Championships

The Athlete Development Program (ADP) within the Bendigo Senior Secondary College (BSSC) attended the Netball Victoria School Championships on Tuesday 5th August at the State Netball Centre in Parkville.

Players involved:

The ADP netball program hold its specialised sessions throughout the year at school with the Netball Victoria School Championships being the competition to display their talent. The team was coached by ADP Netball Coordinator and Netball Victoria President, Carol Cathcart.

The team played against St Francis Xavier College, Sacre Coeur, Wesley College, Toorak College, Ave Maria, Mater Christi College and Kilbreda College. It was a great day with all 11 players contributing in different areas of the court. The games were 2 by 7 minute halves with 7 games being played for the day.

The team started and finished strongly with wins, the toughest opponent was against Wesley College in which the girls played well and gave it everything to go down by 3. The girls found themselves down by 5 against Mater Christi and strung together 7 goals in a row to snatch the win in a great display of netball.

At the end of the day the BSSC ADP team finished their pool in second place with only the winner progressing to the next stage. A huge congratulations to all players on their efforts for the day.

Thank you to Carol for coaching the team and to Drew Cathcart for scoring throughout the day.
