Mums, daughters inviting you to join indoor netball

TAKE a shot at something new at Morris Iemma Indoor Sports Centre’s (MIISC) with the Netball Super 7’s competition.

Whether you’re a netball newbie or a seasoned centre, the Open Ladies Super 7’s competition is the perfect place to practise your skills in a fun and social setting.
Last season’s winning team, the ‘Lucky Ducks’ is made up of a group of friends in their 50s and their daughters.
Team Captain Deanne Stanley says the competition is a great opportunity for the mothers and daughters to have some good fun and banter.
“It’s good for us to catch up each week, have a bit of a laugh and we get together socially afterwards,” Ms Stanley said.
“Some of us have played since we were five years old and others came back to the game after a long time.”
For the team, winning last season’s final against the ‘Bunmarras’ 37-19 was a testament that they’ve “still got it!”
“We do play hard so we get a good workout at the same time,” Ms Stanley said.
Mayor Bilal El-Hayek encouraged locals to check out the many offerings at MIISC.
“Our indoor sports centre offers a variety of sports for all ages and abilities,” he said.
“It’s the perfect opportunity to have fun, stay fit and connect with family and friends.
Registrations are now open for the spring Netball Super 7’s season which runs on Wednesdays at 6pm from August 21 to December 4.
