Starting with her time in the under-13 rep team, where her skills first began to shine, she helped lead Baulkham Hills to victory at the Netball NSW State Age Championships in June. Progressing to local 15/U rep netball, she honed her talents alongside friends in suburban Sydney.
From there, she made the leap to the NSW 17/U team, showcasing her abilities at the National Championships. This success led to trials for the state team, culminating in her selection and subsequent trials for the NSW Waratahs. Within a short span, she went from representing her local area to earning a spot on both the state and Waratahs teams.
Now, a GIANTS NETBALL stalwart we see her take to the court each week in the shooting circle. Matisse's journey into the GIANT she is today started as a Baulkham Hills Under 13 Rep, with a meteoric rise into the NSW 17/U team, and successful selection in the NSW Waratahs in the ANL. We go beyond the court to find out the little big things of her life in a quick fire quiz.
