2023 Previews - Lancefield A Grade Netball

Lancefield showed great improvement under Michelle Rix in the last season and she will be hopeful of similar results in 2023. 

Here is what she had to say about Lancefield A Grade.

What are you most looking forward to about the 2023 RDFNL season? 

It’s hard to pick one things to be honest, we have so many exciting things happening at Lancefield in 2023, with one of the biggest thing is that our club is celebrating our 150th year. This along with our continue development of our local netballers and working with our exciting new coaching teams are some of the highlights that I am looking forward too.

How is your team looking? 

Our team is looking great, we will continue to enjoy watching our young and talented locals grow and develop throughout the year.

Have you started preseason training yet? 

We started a Fast5 competition and used this as out Preseason.  We had a lot of fun while working on fitness.   

Who are the new recruits to the club you are excited to see in action? 

We have been really fortunate to obtain most of our playing list and we have a few returning players coming back. 

Who forms part of the coaching staff/group in 2023? 

Michelle Rix Head coach & A grade, Stacey Deimos B Grade, Danielle Jowett C grade, and Pauly Alexander 19’s.

Who are the young up and coming juniors who have caught your eye? 

We have a strong Junior program at Lancefield with 3 players making the interleague squad in the under 13’s and  4 players being selected in the under 15’s, it displays the depth of players coming through.  A few players that are exciting to watch are Elke Hanson, Stephanie Hammond and Amber Winks. 

What improvements do you think your team will be making in 2023? 

To be honest the sky is the limit with our hard working group of athletes,  we will continue to keep working on their fitness, development and a positive culture and wait to see how they go.

What do you think of the 2023 RDFNL competition?  

I love the RDFNL’s Netball program, I really enjoy seeing new players come in and grow over the year. 

Who do you think will be the team to beat in 2023? 

It’s a little early to make the call.  I think we will have a really competitive year. 

What are your expectations or goals for the 2023 season? 

We have been rebuilding over the past years at Lancefield and we have a young team who have gained valued experiences over the past seasons.  These girls have a great culture and are fully united and we will be working hard to make finals in 2023.
