There was a time when the trialists for the senior national team would have dwindled less than three weeks into training .That is a thing of the past!
Now if a training session is missed by any player, that player can request that evening's 'workout'. This is a result of having confidence in the coach's ability.
Unfortunately there are naysayers who hold the opinion that some of these trialists shouldn't be there? REALLY !!!
These naysayers are all former national coaches, inclusive of the MEDUSAS, who year after year would recall the players from the the previous year MINUS those individuals deserving of the opportunity to challenge for a place on that year's national team.
Poor MEDUSAS . Poor poor MEDUSAS !!
How dare you ?? You are on the OUTSIDE where you belong !
FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY !
This blog has been created with the intention of raising questions about the state of netball in Barbados. Any names mentioned will be of people who are involved in the sport and all situations will be real.

On course........ or not ??
Congratulations to Spooners Hill Netball Club on a perfect start to the 2010 domestic season. It is absolutely ridiculous that a team of individuals who seldom trains can be so dominating up to this point beating teams by double digits.
This tells me that either the teams are scared of SH or that the standard of netball continues to decline. My reason for this is based only on the fact that most of the players on the opposing teams are YOUNGER than those in SH both in age and playing years.
It must be pointed out that SH is coached by the head coach of the senior team with standout goal shooter Lydia Bishop and the talented Renee Rudder in their lineup. Nullifying Natalie,Aggravating Alicia ( HAHAHA!!) , Stifling Shekira and Dominating Denise are also key figures in SH's annihilation of their opponents.
Good job girls !!
