MJ Netball Update
Congratulations to LSA Netball Coach MJ who was named Player of the Day in the Drouin vs Morwell match recently. Rather than keeping the award for herself, MJ presented it to a talented 15-year-old opposition player. Her selflessness and sportsmanship are a true reflection of the values we strive to promote and we are proud to have her as part of our program.
