Brooke Davis (Yr 10), along with Caitlin Weston (Yr 9) went down to Brisbane this month to try out for the Queensland Field Hockey Under 15s Team, along roughly 55 other girls from around the state.
Brooke admits to feeling a mixture of nerves and excitement at the experience. “Mum was there for support, but once I was on the field and started playing, nerves went away,” Brooke said. Brooke ended up being selected for the state team, but plans are on hold due to the current pandemic.
Brooke started playing the sport in HPE whilst in Junior School, and she really enjoyed it. She now plays in under-15s for local team, Wests, in a mid-field position. She trains twice a week unless preparing for a big competition when she trains four to five times a week.
