[Bethany Lord @NetballBethany]

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 💖

[Netball France @netballfrance]

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 💙🤍❤️

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!

[Bethany Lord @NetballBethany]

my junior netballers have taken to giving themselves maths equations on the side of the court during breaks? for fun?? these kids are going to rule the world one day, mark my words

[Bethany Lord @NetballBethany]

So excited that the world is going to be able to watch Les Bleus in their first international ranking matches - a huge huge thank you to @EuropeNetball & @UAEnetball for making this a reality! 💖

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

[Bethany Lord @NetballBethany]

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
