On October 9 the IMB South Coast Blaze will travel to Fiji to participate in the Australia-Fiji
\nQuad Series at Vodafone arena in Suva.<\/p>\n

The competition will take place from 11-14 October and will consist of round robin games
\nwhere Blaze will play against the Fijian Pearls National Squad – playing as Fiji Black and Fiji
\nBlue – and Sunshine Coast Thunder in order to provide the Fijian Pearls with high level
\nmatch play and the opportunity for final team selection leading into the XVII Pacific Games.<\/p>\n

The invitation was extended to South Coast Blaze by Netball Fiji supported by Netball Australia through the
\nPacificAus Sports<\/em> (PAS) program, an opportunity that Head
\nCoach Marji Parr said will largely benefit the girls.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only are the girls competing in a three day tournament, they\u2019re going to be seeing parts
\nof the community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ll get the opportunity to work with some international players and coaching staff whilst
\nenjoying the Fijian environment and culture during the international week of Fiji Day.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team was selected to involve girls from both Blaze\u2019s u23\u2019s and Opens teams, an effort
\nwhich Marji said was intentional to show the club\u2019s values and create a blended team
\nenvironment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a look at involving players from both teams so we could make sure that both
\npositionally and also composition wise, we had a spread of age groups and athletes,\u201d she
\nsaid.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese athletes were really intentional in terms of being inside our blaze family and the
\nathletes that have had really strong tenure within our club.\u201d<\/p>\n

This experience will offer Blaze players a unique development experience in an international
\nhigh performance sporting environment, an experience which Open\u2019s player and Co-captain
\nof the tour group Abbey McFadden said she was really looking forward to.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a wonderful opportunity that doesn\u2019t come around every day, and to send Blaze
\nacross to Fiji to participate in this tournament is really a once in a lifetime experience,\u201d Abbey
\nsaid.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got one more week until we fly off so there are some tough training sessions to come
\nbut we\u2019ve been working on our connections and I\u2019m super excited to go away with the girls
\nand be immersed in the Fijian culture as well as be exposed to new types of play.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Marji Parr, this unique experience will offer the girls a chance to develop their
\nnetball skills against international players and learn from different styles of play as well as
\nteaching them about their own patterns and adaptability on the court.<\/p>\n

As one of the senior players on the team, Abbey McFadden agreed that this experience will
\nteach the Blaze team a lot and will be an amazing experience for everyone involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something that I’ve never experienced before on an international level so it\u2019s definitely
\ngoing to improve my game as well as the rest of the girls,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity for all of our players to develop and learn something new we can bring
\nback with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
