The 2019 Junior State Titles will be held in Sydney this weekend and the Leeton Netball Association will have its under 14s, under 13s and under 12s all competing.

The 14s have played five regional carnivals in the lead up to the event and were the champions at both Cowra and Parkes and runners-up at Young.

The under 13s have participated in six regional carnivals during the representative season in the lead up to Sydney, facing some tough competition.

The girls have been doing extra training, with a fitness session at the gym once a week, as well as their regular training.

Most of the girls also play in local competitions, which provides additional training.
