Maitland Park exploded in a cacophony of colour as netball returned to court for 2017.
While for the majority of players it was the return to a familiar and fun winter ritual, for most of the under-7 girls it was their first game of netball.
There were lots of side-way glances to the coach or mum and dad to see if they were doing the right thing.
Lots of firsts as well, first team uniform, first team photo, first catch and first goal celebration for the odd team as goals are a premium when you’re mightiest throw just makes it up to the ring.
In a wonderful tradition for the Thornton under 7s, it also means the first presentation of the team teddy bear for the girl who exemplified the spirit of the game.
