The ADA is a high-performance and personal growth program for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander netball players across metropolitan and regional Western Australia.
Following a trial process, 30 athletes were selected to take part in a specialised training program led by coaches Keenan Halden, Fiona Farmer, Maurice Palmer and Kerry Letts.
Throughout the program, athletes developed their netball skills, game knowledge and leadership capabilities, while also benefiting from the opportunity to train and compete on the new indoor courts at Southern Districts Netball Association.
Hub Day provided athletes with an excellent opportunity to put into action the skills, knowledge and confidence they have developed throughout the academy, showcasing how far they have progressed.
The squad was also fortunate to be joined by First Nations State Team players Tierrah Miller and Tayla Abraham, who assisted with award selections and presentations.
Congratulations to the four Leadership Award recipients:
- Shirlina – ADA
- Tiffani – ADA
- Dakota – Djindas Netball Club
- Rachelle – Team South Africa Perth
Special congratulations to Chelsea (ADA), who was named the overall Hub Day MVP.
Netball WA extends sincere thanks and congratulations to everyone who contributed to the success of this year’s Aboriginal Development Academy, including the coaches, athletes, families and participating clubs.
