Umina plays for netball cup

Umina Public School participated in the Netball NSW School's Cup held at Adcock Park in Gosford on Wednesday, July 24.

Twenty-three teams from across the Central Coast participated in the new event which was designed to encourage participation in netball.

"It was a very cold and windy day but the spirit of all competitors was high," said Umina Public School netball coordinator Ms Rebecca Rodwell.

"Students could be found chatting to new friends, making up chants, learning the rules for some and creating set plays ready to take on their opponents.

"The Umina teams, Mulloka and Ukamirra, did their very best each time they took the court.

"Lots of positive encouragement could be heard from the sideline.

"Students from Brisbane Water Secondary College and Terrigal High who umpired and scored all our games."

"We had several players who had only played a handful of netball games and they improved significantly throughout the day."
