Eve's Angels Netball Fundraising

Olivia from Stoke

Please support us if you can: givealittle.co.nz...

In 2021 I started coaching a netball team, we called ourselves “Eve’s Angels” as we were sponsored by Eve’s Apples 🍎 2024 is my 4th season coaching the same young ladies. This year, in December, we will travel to Fiji to enter a netball tournament.

I have watched these girls turn into young woman and observed a huge improvement in their playing skill and confidence on and off the court. It has been nothing but a privilege to be a part of their lives.

The Fiji Festival provides us with a chance to give back to grass roots netball and grow the amazing netball community. Eve's Angels will become buddies with a local Fijian team during the festival and we will be taking netball donations from NZ for them e.g. old netball uniforms, bibs, balls etc.

This trip is not just about sports; it's an opportunity for personal growth, team building, fostering a spirit of sportswomanship and a love for netball across borders. These young women have never been the A Team nor a Rep Team, but they have worked hard to develop their netball skills and they are a dedicated, passionate, loyal and hardworking team who support each other both on and off the court and have a lot of fun!

Heading to Fiji to celebrate everything about this team is a dream that we have made a reality. If you can help ease the cost for us to get there (which is a big cost for some), that would be most appreciated ❤️😊
