Senior 1 Netball

Written by Grace Bridge - Captain & Deputy Head Girl.

The Senior One Netball team versed off against Orewa this week in a Coast clash that saw KingsWay win 30 to 10. It was highly prevalent how the team was able to apply what we learnt in training into our gameplay, spreading the court better than last week, allowing us to move the ball down to our shooters with ease. Each individual had some standout moments with defenders racking up intercepts left right and centre, mid-court players throwing pin-point passes which the shooters then would finish off with some exceptional shooting. Having our supporters on the sideline cheering loud and proud for their school helped encourage the team which made for a fun game. Co-captain Marli Delport gave us the word SOAR before the game to remind us all of the message of Isaiah 40:29-30 and how the Lord renews our strength and this idea was incredibly true throughout our game on Saturday.

Life Lessons through Sport

By Sarah Auld, Sports Chaplaincy New Zealand

DALLAS ADAMS HAS COMPLETED OVER 1400 WORKOUTS AT HIS F45 GYM, MAKING HIM THE MOST CAPPED F45 MEMBER IN NEW ZEALAND. When Adams first came to the Hastings F45 gym five years ago, he was recovering from a lifetime of abuse. As a child he was sexually abused and as an adult he suffered with two decades of alcohol and drug addiction in an attempt to dull the pain. At rock bottom, he called out to God for help and it was from that point on that he started making changes. The alcohol and drug abuse stopped and he began working on getting his body in shape. He tried a few gyms, but once he had experienced the supportive environment of Hastings F45, he knew he was in the place that could help him. Over the next few years he lost 20 kgs, becoming leaner, stronger and healthier in every way. Adams went on to gain qualifications and become a Health Coach for Hawks Bay Health, helping others to transform and heal. He uses the wisdom and compassion he has learned from his own journey to help his clients go from a place of brokenness to a place of positive change. Adams’ journey to wellness has required huge personal growth. He could have been content with that growth and continued to only invest in himself, but instead he chose to reach out and share the lessons he has learned with others. We all have our own challenges to overcome and life lessons that we learn along the way. While we will not have all the answers, God calls us to encourage others (Hebrews 10:24-25), by sharing from our own experiences. If we are humble enough to share some of our learnings from our journey, we may well make a difference in someone’s life.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord that nothing is wasted in Your hands, even the tough things I have been through You can use for good. Please help me to be sensitive to Your prompting and to encourage others in the way You want me to.
