Kirsten has been involved with Netball for over 25 years starting with her early years as a girl growing up in Geraldton she learnt to play with her School team.
As an adult she moved to Perth and continued with her love of Netball playing at least 5 times a week. Starting out as a defender she normally played either GD or GK. However over the past 5 years she has transitioned into the attacker roles of GA and GS. Given her strength learnt as a defender she has become a formidable shooter and knows all the tricks on how to defend the defender which in her words “it is very annoying as a defender when a shooter starts defending you!” Through her association with Eels Netball Club she has become a Coach/Player and lead her Division 4 Open team to the be Champions of the 2016 Season at the Wanneroo courts. She has completed the Foundations Coaching Course and Defensive Coaching Clinic as she continues to learn and grow this next phase of her Netball experience. She continues to love the game of Netball even after playing for many years, and together with her husband and family is actively involved in playing socially, playing mixed, playing Open competition, Coaching and mentoring. |

After to moving to Perth she continued to play at both a club level and with school teams. When her family moved to Katanning, where she was captain of several teams one of which played in the Open Competition where they had great success. Kelly moved back to Perth in 1993 and began playing in the WDNA competition. After taking time off to have kids she first came back to netball as a team manager for several years before playing again since 2015. In 2016 she played in one of our successful Open teams, winning the grand final after only one loss for the season. Over all these years she has only ever played GD or GK, until this year when she was handed the GS bib and it turns out a "defender can shoot after all!" |
