Holly plays up a storm

STONY Creek’s Holly Monaghan was recently rewarded for her tremendous efforts in both playing and coaching netball within Gippsland Storm Elite Development Netball Club.
Gippsland Storm president Brendan Murnane recently presented Ms Monaghan with a scholarship to help further her netball career.
Having joined Gippsland Storm close to five years ago, Ms Monaghan has excelled in all seasons played while taking on the role of coaching Under 13’s this year.
When asked what her career highlight is to date, Ms Monaghan struggles to choose from her number of successes.
“2014 was a real milestone year. I was captain of the open team, we played two seasons and I received the best and fairest and coach’s award,” Ms Monaghan said.
Credited for balancing her time between playing and coaching, Ms Monaghan manages to push herself in all aspects of the game, also playing for Stony Creek in the Alberton League and coaching a Gippsland Storm Under 13’s team at Waverley Netball Centre.
“It has been a challenge but I love a good challenge. I love my netball and I feel like this is a way to express it more,” Ms Monaghan said.
“I love to coach and working with girls who are so determined to improve netball makes it much easier, although it is never easy.”
Gippsland Storm would like to encourage all netballers in the Gippsland region, who are serious about taking the next step in their netball development, to come along to Storm tryout selections for 2016.
Tryouts are to be held on Sunday, October 18 and 25. For further information or to register, visit www.gippslandstorm.com.au
