John XXIII Netball Club

We were thrilled to have West Coast Fever represented at our Secondary grading sessions, with Jess Anstiss (Fever Captain) and Sasha Glasgow (Fever Shooter) lending their expertise to support player selection. Their involvement provided our players with a unique and inspiring opportunity to be assessed by elite‑level athletes. Jess and Sasha also led players through the warm‑up as the grading sessions commenced.

We were also delighted to welcome Fever Reserve player Kate Cunningham to our grading, who will continue her role as a coach within the Club for the 2026 season.
