On the last weekend of the holidays I had my first netball game against Sumner/Redcliffe. I was extremely nervous because my whole family was watching me and I knew they were going to cheer me on and embarrass me on the sidelines. My game wasn’t until 1:15pm but throughout the whole day I was anxious but also excited to play.
When we arrived to the Hagley netball courts I spotted some of my friends so I went over there and trained with them a bit before the game started. My position is goal attack therefore I have to be a good shooter and also a good defender. After training for a while it was time to play, that’s when my butterflies kicked in.
I walked onto court and dazed at the other team and thought to myself “ wow they seem like good players. “ but I didn’t put myself down and all I wanted to do was play. We got into our positions and waited for the siren to go off for about 5 minutes, the awkward silence was killing me. Then the siren finally went off and the intense game begun.
After the game I was very tired. We lost but it was our first game of the season and we still had a lot to learn and practise. Our team was still pretty pleased of themselves because we tried our hardest and had a positive attitude throughout the whole game and at the end.
