Our national squad athletes are self funded (life of a new/small netball nation!), and have spent significant amounts to get to training/competition across France & Europe. Any donations (or retweets/shares) would be hugely appreciated to help us get to upcoming competition 💖
Les Bleus are self funded, & to help them get to competition they've put together a crowdfund 🥳 All donations go directly to lowering athlete costs. Les Bleus would like to thank all who are able to support them to reach international competition 💙🤍❤️ helloasso.com/associations/n…

they also regularly decorate the centre circle & hosted their first bake sale last night (where they raised over €350 for their club!!), so they’re multi-talented on top of netball!

Ever want to be humbled? Ask the french 5-8 y/o’s you coach to do their best impression of you. They’ll all immediately pinch their noses to do a voice I can only describe as Squidward coaching netball - then they’ll have the AUDACITY to congratulate each other on how good it is

This brought to you by my baby french netballers finding my accent amusing (which, fair, the Aussie accent can be), me running with the joke and telling them whoever can do the best impression of me can have first centre pass, and them all proceeding to absolutely DESTROY me

A few years ago when @netballfrance was just starting, @LonForrow and I spoke about world domination. Well, here we are - changing the world step by step. Global & regional recognition is a huge step forward in @netballfrance’s development, and there’s only more to come 💙🤍❤️

I NEED to know how all the netty girlies are doing cute slick back ponies/buns and their hair is just staying like that the whole game?! If I even think about running my hair goes wild - what products are y’all using or are you all just blessed with hair that does what you want??
