ANZA Netball shoots, scores, & soars!
As we head into the second half of the year ANZA Netball is on a roll with player numbers rising to an impressive 450 girls – a capacity we haven’t seen in years. This growth is particularly encouraging given the increasing number of netball clubs there now are across Singapore.
Much of this success is down to the incredible team of coaches working with the group. Led by the ever-committed Coach Lin, our dedicated group of professional coaches is supported by a passionate volunteer squad – more than 70 parent coaches – who pull on their ANZA shirts each week to get active with their children. We’re already buzzed about Term 2, which will run from late August to early December 2025.
Netball Newbies
Our youngest cohort
Our youngest ANZA netballers are loving their sessions, as their skills, confidence, and friendships continue to grow. Each class is led by a professional coach, assisted by enthusiastic parent volunteers, and features regular games and challenges to keep the U7’s (born in 2018) engaged and energised.
Adult Netball Scores Big
ANZA Adult Netball taking the world by storm!
In an exciting new development, ANZA Netball has successfully launched an adult netball programme. ANZA Adult Netball weekly indoor training sessions at Tanglin Trust School are run by a professional coach, with participants invited to join the ANZA Ladies League team or take part in competitions as they arise. Some of our senior players have even joined the squad!
Earlier this year, the ANZA Ladies team competed in their first tournament – and stormed to victory in Division 3 of the SCC Ladies League! What’s more, an infectious sense of camaraderie has flourished amongst the group. Well played, gals!
Tournament Time: Daisy Tan, SVNS & SGNA
Gathering at the HSBC Rugby SVNS
ANZA teams have been busy on the tournament circuit this season. At the Daisy Tan Carnival, we entered two teams in the 14&U category and one in the 17&U. Played at Kallang, the competition saw the younger players hit the court in the morning, followed closely by the older teams. It was a blisteringly hot day, but spirits stayed high – helped by the ever-popular free ice cream sandwich carts!
All ANZA teams performed brilliantly, landing top-three spots in their pools against tough competition from schools and clubs across the island. We also entered several teams in the third annual SVNS & SGNA Netball Tournament, held alongside the Rugby SVNS. A bonus treat was that ANZA players got to enjoy some world-class rugby once their matches wrapped up.
Off-Court Antics!
Our Perth-bound teams (U12 – U16) have been prepping for the annual tour. Thanks to the talents of our multi-skilled volunteer coaches, players have enjoyed a series of strength and conditioning sessions to get match-ready. Meanwhile, the famous Perth bake sales have been a roaring success, with homemade cinnamon scrolls and sausage rolls proving the hottest sellers. For younger ANZA players not yet eligible for the tour, these events offer a tasty teaser of what they might look forward to in the future.
Roll up for cakes!
