Sporting Life

             Sport plays a major role in my life. Everything about it, from the atmosphere of a game to the personal influences one can have on a game; I find it very enjoyable to watch or to be a part of.

             When I was eleven years old I began to play netball again for Saints Angels. Later that year I began to play for Sub Junior three. At the moment I am still playing for Saints U/17's.
             For the last two years and now this year I have been selected in the South Australian United Church Netball Association team.
