Netball prodigy off to provincials
With her eyes set on the ultimate goal – to one day play for the U21 SPAR Baby Proteas – Khumo Segopolo is ready to take on the challenge, as she has been selected for the Gauteng team to participate in the South African Schools Netball (SASN) All Ages Netball Tournament hosted at Hoërskool EG Jansen in June. Khumo recently made her debut as a junior player for the Southern Gauteng Netball Team at the Inter-Provincial (IPT) Indoor Netball Tournament in Cape Town in April, alongside some of the best action netball players in the country in the Junior League Montague. Her journey as a junior in such a high-performance category makes her a player to keep your eyes on. Also read: Netball starlet triumphs at provincial tournament Khumo shared that starting to play at the age of 11, she was fortunate to have a mother who has experience as a provincial and national player who assisted her with extra training sessions outside of her normal practices. She adds that she feels most confident playing as a goal attack (GA), as she knows that this position plays a crucial role in the attacking third, often working together with the goal shooter to create effective offensive plays. The future looks bright for young Khumo as her eyes are set on representing South Africa in the 2026 Emirates Dubai 7's Netball Tournament for the junior Proteas team.
