Indien jy nie self daar kan wees om al die aksie te beleef nie, skakel gerus in op Supersport Schools (DStv-kanaal 216) om regstreeks na al die wedstryde te kyk.

 

Dit is weer tyd vir die NWU Prestige-reeks, met 10 spanne wat by verskeie sportgronde bymekaarkom om die naweek se wenners te bepaal.

Hoërskool Noordheuwel skop die naweek se verrigtinge af teen Hoërskool Klerksdorp, om 10:00 by Noordheuwel.

Hoërskool Hugenote (Springs) speel tuis teen Hoër Volkskool Heidelberg om 10:45, terwyl Hoërskool Wesvalia ook tuis teen Hoërskool Oosterlig te staan kom om 11:10, en, in dieselfde tydgleuf, sê Hoërskool Montana vir Hoërskool Rustenburg die stryd aan by Montana.

Die dag sluit om 15:30 af met ‘n kragmeting tussen Hoërskool Marais Viljoen en Hoërskool Zwartkop, wat die kroon behoort te span op ‘n uiters opwindende naweek van netbal-aksie.

Die Hoërskool Pietersburg van Polokwane se eerste netbalspan stoom voort in die NWU Prestige-reeks. Die Pieties het Saterdag vir Lichtenburg met 31-10 in hul groepwedstryd verslaan.

Dit volg na die span van Polokwane die vorige week vir Die Anker van Brakpan met 30-15 die loef afgesteek het.

Pieties se senter, Joné Potgieter, was haar span se staatmaker in die sege oor Lichtenburg. Sy was uitstekend op die aanval sovel as op die verdediging.

Potgieter het ‘n hele paar keer omgekeerde besit vir haar span vir seker deur Liggies se aangee te onderskep. Die kombinasie op verdediging van Abi Briel en Mia Alberts het ook baie druk op die verloorspan se doele geplaas.

Pietersburg het na die eerste kwart reeds daarin geslaag om ‘n voorsprong van 9-3 op te bou. Die Liggies het goed in die tweede kwart teruggeveg maar teen rustyd steeds ‘n agterstand van 7-14 gehad.

In die laaste twee rondtes het Pietersburg heeltemal die oorhand gehad, hulle het geen kanse laat verby gaan nie. In die laaste kwart het Pieties vyfde rat gevind en 12 doele aangeteken en slegs een laat deurglip.

Potchefstroom Gimnasium het ‘n spoggerige sege van 51-13 oor Die Anker behaal. Suné Barnard, Lana Burger, Christie-Mari Coetzee en Twayn Maartens was die spelers wat vir die wenspan uitgestaan het.

Carin Strauss is known for being the Spar Proteas Netball coach of many moons ago, but her love for netball started when she played with her older sister and her friends. At Hoërskool Sand Du Plessis, she was inspired by coaches who loved the game and ignited the flame within her.  Strauss says she was exposed to netball her whole life.

For 31 years, she has been a coach, and it all started when she was expecting her first child. Although she couldn’t play anymore, she couldn’t think to turn away from the game, so she took on the next best thing, coaching.

She has a holistic approach to motivating players at Hoërskool Garsfontein as a coach. She motivates them according to their personalities, but for the team as a whole, they set goals that they can achieve together. She stated that motivation can’t come from the coach alone; it has to be a partnership between coach and players.

Strauss is more than just a sideline coach, she wants her players to think independently. However, according to her, once the adrenaline kicks, her competitive nature takes over, and she talks too much when the games start. But everyone has a responsibility on the team.

Strauss’s game plan approach is to first focus on her own team’s structure and to establish her team’s goals and setup. The opponents’ weaknesses and strengths are of secondary priority.

The way she chooses her team always starts with the experience of the players. There are a lot of factors that go into the decision-making process. At the end, Strauss and her team want to give all the players exposure to the games and not make anyone feel like they have been switched out because they weren’t good enough.

Strauss is all about teamwork, she also has a co-coach that she bounces ideas from. She looks to pick someone who balances her out, someone she can wholeheartedly trust. Strauss says the competition and risks are just too high and overwhelming to go at it alone. Coaching is a two-person job.

Strauss says she loves the competitive nature of the game. She also loves inspiring the girls of her team and seeing them reach the next level, whether it is in the game or personally. Strauss is involved in Tshwane netball, where she helps with developing new coaches and reinvigorating the love for the game within players. Netball is another platform for someone to shine and feel special.

Strauss has a message for the young girls. “Netball is on the map now.” She urges players not to stop playing after school, as there can be a future in netball. Not everyone peaks in high school. Don’t give up too quickly, and even if you play in a B-team, play because you love the sport.

Luané Smith van Hoërskool Waterkloof is gekies om deel te wees van die span wat vir Suid Afrika gaan verteenwoordig in die Statebond Jeugspele. Ons het met haar gesels om haar beter te leer ken.

Smith speel netbal al vandat sy 5 jaar oud is. Sy het ‘n passie vir netbal. ”Ek sal eerder internasionale wedstryde kyk as ander YouTube video’s en natuurlik is netbal lekker.’’

Wanneer sy na die internasionale spelers kyk en sien wat hulle kan doen motiveer dit haar om ook sulke vaardighede te verbeter.

Luané sal na skool graag aanhou met netbal maar sy gaan ook onderwys studeer

Haar raad vir jonger meisies is dat ‘’niks wat regtig die moeite werd is maklik kom nie – jy moet aanhou werk daarvoor en nooit vergeet waar jou talente vandaan kom nie.’’

Smith se roetine voor ‘n wedstryd is haar eie snit lys waarna sy luister terwyl sy ook bid.

‘n Interessante feit oor Luané is dat dit vir haar ‘n moeilike keuse sal wees om te kies tussen ‘n goeie koppie koffie en netbal.

Die Statebond Jeugspele vind plaas van 4 tot 11 Augustus in Trinidad en Tobago.

Ons het ‘n paar vrae gevra vir Amanda Mynhardt van Afrikaans Hoër Meisieskool Pretoria oor die opkomende naweek se DStv Schools Challenge haar antwoorde was as volg:

1. Wat is julle verwagtinge vir die toernooi? Ons verwag dat dit ‘n toernooi gaan wees waar ons span op alle vlakke getoets gaan word. Dit is ook ‘n geleentheid waar ons as span kan wys tot wat ons in staat is as ‘n span.
2. Watter teenstander dink julle gaan die moeilikste wees? Ons respekteer elke teenstander waarteen ons speel. Ons voorspel dat elke opponent in die uitspele op hul beste sal wees want vir elkeen is dit ‘n maak of breek.
3. Watter spelers van jul span kan dopgehou word? En dalk hoekom? Ek dink ons het 10 goeie spelers en op die dag bring elkeen iets na die baan toe wat ons kan gebruik. So kom ons kyk wat hou die naweek in.
4. Wie is almal in julle afrigting span en rolle? Myself, afrigter. Karien Furstenburg, span bestuurder. Waldo van Heerden, S&C coach en Prof Peet du Toit, mental skills coach.

Affies het ‘n suksesvolle seisoen agter die rug, hulle het teen EG Jansen 40-10 gewen en teen Garsfontein verloor 26-12.

 

 

The Western Cape Willows came out on top during the annual Telkom Netball Championships for u18 teams. This year’s tournament was hosted by DF Malan in Cape Town.

The Willows defeated Gauteng Gamma by 35-26 in the final of the tournament.

Nonkcubeko Mjaliswa of the Free State was awarded the accolade of being the best u18 player at the tournament. She also received this award in 2022 in the u17 age group during the tournament.

Last year the tournament was still known as the All Ages tournament. Simoné Swanepoel (Helpmekaar-kollege) of Gauteng was named the best shooter, while Kayla Dames (Paarl Girls’  High, Western Cape) walked away with the award as the best mid-court player.

The best defensive player in this age group was Thandolwethu Mokoena (Mpumalanga).

During the u17 tournament Gauteng Lambda was crowned champions as they defeated the Western Cape Oaks by 34-30 in a closely contested final.

Jade Atkins (La Rochelle) from Paarl Girls’ High was named the best overall player at the conclusion of the tournament. Kabura Abubakar (Limpopo) and Kiara van Eeden (Noordheuwel, Gauteng) walked away with the awards for best shooter and best mid-court players respectively.

Menlopark will be defending their victory crown on EG Jansen’s home soil.

This weekend is packed with netball championships, but the Gauteng Championship will be the one to watch. Top schools will be fighting it out on the court and four teams will make it through to the DStv Schools Challenge.

Menlopark might look like the favorite to win this year again with the great season they’ve had. They won against Monument by 33-8, and against Waterkloof they won 39-19. Schools like Montana has something to prove with them losing against Menlopark by 32-25

Affies also had a massive win against EG Jansen with 36-9, it will be interesting to see if they play against each other again this weekend. Waterkloof had a very close game against Garsfontein, where Garsfontein won by 30-29.

The games start at 08:00 on the 16^th of June. And the finals will be played on the 17^th at 13:30.

This weekend is also the Motsepe Championships, where the u15’s both Ubuntu and Botho- teams will participate in the championship.
