Charlotte Sgroi has always loved being part of a team, and supporting those around her, so when she was asked to represent the Burdekin Netball Association as a 2025 Burdekin Water Festival Junior Ambassador, the decision was easy!
“I was honestly overwhelmed - in the best way - when I was invited to be the Junior Ambassador for the Burdekin Netball Association and I'm so thankful to Burdekin Netball for trusting in me and giving me this amazing opportunity,” shared Charlotte.
“I accepted the invitation to become a Junior Ambassador as I thought it would be a great opportunity to give back to the Burdekin Netball Association for everything netball has given to me by encouraging everyone to play netball; and to promote our friendly, inclusive and well organised association!”
Having loved the action of the sport for over four years now, 11-year-old Charlotte has represented her club across numerous competitions and trials, including in the most recent Burdekin Under 12 Representative Team. Actively involved in her school community, Charlotte also enjoys the spotlight, and has performed in the Burdekin Eisteddfod, sung at community events and loves sharing the stage with her Simply Dance, FC Caledonia and Perform Music peers.
Charlotte hopes to take advantage of each and every opportunity that comes her way over the next couple of months, and with so much to look forward to, she’s most excited to meet the residents Regis Aged Care Home at the festival’s upcoming event.
“I am also looking forward to stepping outside of my comfort zone and trying new things, making new friends and connections in our community; and to help out wherever I can - or as we say in netball, to be “here if you need!””
