YARRA Valley netball clubs Worawa and Coldstream are enjoying the winter season at the new Pinks Reserve netball complex.
Worawa has three teams in the competition this season, the Kangaroos in the Under 17 section, and two teams, Echidnas and Wallabies in the Under 15 section.
“All the girls are enjoying the season, and this year we welcome a new coach, Jess Macdowell, assisted by Nat Welfare,” said Kim Walters.
Coldstream is also on a roll with nine teams from the Under 9s through to the Open section.
Under 15 coach Liz Westwood said it was not just the players who were enjoying the state-of-the-art courts.
“I love the new courts and the entire complex,” she said on the weekend.
There was praise for everything from the great amenities including toilets and umpires’ and change rooms, to the beautiful surroundings and mountain backdrop.
“And, the surface is great, there are no tree roots to contend with, or overhanging trees, and room for the umpires around the court,” Ms Westwood said.
