Joining A South Yarra Netball Team

If you live in or have recently moved to South Yarra and want to join a local netball team, you have to put some thought into this endeavour. After all, your skills, level of athleticism and performance will also depend greatly on your team and how you work with your teammates.
 

To make sure that you will join South Yarra netball teams that you will be happy to be part of and make you a better athlete, there are some important traits or features that the team should have. Below are the top 3 things that you should look into the netball team you want to join:

The team’s reputation. The last thing you want to happen is to join a team that is known for their bad, rough or dangerous plays.  Just like with other sports, netball also has its share of dirty players who practice moves that are very unsportsmanlike just so they can win. Netball is one of those sports that embody and nurtures camaraderie and teamwork. To fully enjoy this game, choose a team to join that has a good reputation, plays clean and has never been embroiled in any fiasco or rough plays.
 

The team’s safety track record. Although netball might not be considered as one of the most dangerous or “physical” sport out there, accidents still happen on the court. As such, find and select a team that facilitates the safest games and has good track record of ensuring that injuries are kept to a minimum or even down to a zero.

The team’s members. Finally, aside from avoiding teams that may have unsportsmanlike players, you should also think about joining one with players that you identify and are comfortable with. You will always be playing with the team so it would not do you any good if you keep having disagreements with your co-players or you do not feel comfortable being with them at all. For instance, if you don’t feel comfortable playing in a mixed team, join an all-girls’ team instead.
