Bright netballers focusing on fun, improvement

AS the Ovens and King season moves into its latter half, the netballers at Pioneer Park are raring to retake to the court this weekend, with an away game against Bonnie Doon. It's been a difficult start to the year for Bright's A graders, who currently sit winless on the bottom of the ladder, but there have been definite positives through the first half of the competition. "There have been some great improvements, I think we've stabilised our sides now," A/B grade coach Marlene Steiner said. "We've got a whole new group of girls, and we're trying to build that comradery. B grade's very settled and A grade's settled into their positions. "It was challenging in regards to trying to work out where we were heading with both teams, but also not trying to lock in things too soon. "What I've liked about it is being able to promote those younger players up into A grade as needed, the likes of Lara Lock coming into A grade and Ash (Farmer) and Monique (Martin) as well. "I think that's been the standout to me, that ability to give them rewards when they've been playing well, to move them up. "I think that's the beauty of having an A/B squad, and the potentiality for that continuing not necessarily under one coach." Up against talented Bats squads, Bright's netballers across all grades will be looking to continue to take strides in improving their game. "It's all about having fun," Steiner said. "We were very disappointed last week when we went down by one in B grade, but when they came off the girls were all smiles. "They played really well and they knew it was within their grasp. "We're just out there to play – yes, they do want to win, but they're also in a good headspace to realise it is a building year."
