Last Wednesday, the Greensborough Netball Club held a Health and Well-being night in place of our usual netball training session.
All Boro players and coaches were asked to make a $5 donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) upon entry and raffle tickets were sold to raise additional funds. All funds that were raised have been donated directly to the NBCF, with the current total at $236 (correct as of 08/07/2015).
If you would like to donate, please do so via NBCF Go Fundraise GNC.
The night commenced with a talk on sports nutrition by Boro’s own Team One Captain, Bianca who has recently completed her nutrition studies. Bianca spoke about the importance of fueling your body prior & post games/training, and the right combinations of fuel and hydration.
Boro’s favourite Physio, Julz Allan from Alphington Sports Medicine and the Athlete Advantage was also in attendance, taking each team through crucial exercises for Netball, including core strength, landing and balance drills. Alphington Sports Medicine provides 10% off for all NFL and NNL players as well as a vital concussion service on the weekends.
Ebony Korkie, Boro’s Myotherapist from Untangled Living located at Rivers of Yarrambat, took each team through a session of using foam rollers and the general importance of looking after your body pre & post netball.
The event was fantastic and Boro would like to thank our sponsors for the night, who graciously donated prizes for the raffle:
