May Training Camp

To get ready for the World Championships the Stingray need to practice playing together as much as they can. The girls live all around Australia, so every few weeks we all meet in Melbourne for a training camp. Imagine a weekend where ALL you do is play your favourite sport!

Two weeks ago we had a training camp. The Stingrays did some special tests to measure how much they'd improved since the last camp. Some of what we did included:

  • Seeing how fast we can run (shuttle runs)
  • Seeing how high we can jump
  • Seeing how fast we can run around a set of cones - this is called agility
3L is just about ready to do the same tests! We are going to compare our times with the Stingrays!

Kim took some cool photos of what we did. She changed her camera so that the pictures are black and white except for the blue things! Click on them to see a bigger version:

We're about to do the sprints!

Phi can sprint really fast -
 she lifts her knees to get more power when she runs
Emilya is having a great time!
