Collie and Narrogin Shooting Stars participants have hosted West Coast Fever this week during their pre-season camp, as the program's official charity partner commits to gaining a deeper understanding of Aboriginal culture.
Players participated in tribal wars and small yarning circles led by participants, discussing a special Shooting Stars moment and what the program means to them.
West Coast Fever athlete and Shooting Stars Ambassador, Verity Charles said visiting Shooting Stars sites is always the highlight of her year.
“The participants are full of confidence, their attendance is high and they are here loving school, and to see all the girls today in tribal wars working as a team, supporting each other and being so heavily involved, that’s what Shooting Stars is all about,” said Charles.
“For all of our team and our staff to be down here with the Shooting Stars girls is pretty special and something I’ll hold close to my heart for a long time.”
As a Club, West Coast Fever are extremely supportive of the charities vision, each year hosting an Indigenous Round that recognises and celebrates Aboriginal people and culture, whilst showcasing Fever’s engagement with Shooting Stars participants and staff.
The trip comes off the back of Shooting Stars Ambassadors Courtney Bruce and Verity Charles recent visits to Shooting Stars sites across regional Western Australia running netball skills and drills sessions for participants, attending awards nights and share stories with the girls.
