Fifteen-year-old Kalarni Orr from East Gosford will be in the thick of the action when 192 of the world’s best netballers arrive in Sydney this August.
Kalarni was selected as a field of play assistant, or ball kid, as they are more commonly known, for the Netball World Cup in Sydney. Kalarni, as an athlete from the Central Coast Academy of Sport, has been selected as one of 30 field of play assistants for the event.
The field of play assistant program is a joint program between Netball NSW and the Netball World Cup 2015. Kalarni will take on critical roles behind the scenes and courtside, experiencing the event from what could be seen as some of the ‘best seats in the house’.
Kalarni said she is looking forward to being an official at games between Australia and England and Australia versus New Zealand. She will be a field of play assistant for seven games during the world cup. Kalarni started playing netball when she was nine and her positions are goal shooter and goal attack.
