Taking to the court, the players of Whitsunday Netball Association are eager to kick their 2024 season off with a bang, welcoming new players and returning players to the Whitsunday Sportspark for a season set to be one of the best yet.
Since its inception in 1992, the Whitsunday Netball Association (WNA) has a rich history of teaching and developing players skills and techniques, offering competitive support and key opportunities for growth and professional avenues.
However, at the core of WNA is the values of respect, friendship, and camaraderie.
“Although small in size,” explained Marteaka Hoffmann, Secretary of WNA.
“WNA creates opportunities for lifelong friendships on and off the court.
“Many of our junior members go on to join the committee or help mentor future players. All our members get to keep up their fitness while playing a game they love.”
As one of the fastest growing team sports globally, netball fosters a sense of connection and ability.
“We have the highest participation sport for women,” Ms Hoffmann explained.
“And with the introduction of modified games, it's a sport that can be enjoyed by all. No matter their age, skill, or fitness level. Something for everyone, we offer both social and competitive avenues.”
Welcoming players from as young as five-years old all the way up to seniors, every individual is catered for and able to engage in the sport.
“We are constantly striving on improving our club and introducing more opportunities for the wider community to experience and enjoy netball,” Ms Hoffmann explained.
“Our end of year mixed competition is always a great social end to the season. We love seeing the men out on court and learning the rules in just eight weeks. We encourage all who enjoy the sport to participate in any capacity possible, whether it be playing, volunteering, officiating, or supporting. Netball is a sport that is inclusive of male and female players of any age, skill, or fitness.”
