Talent and Fair Play

Zali Raudonikis has progressed to Phase 2 trials for the NSW 17U State Team! After a fantastic performance in Newcastle, she is heading to Sydney next.

An integral member of our Snappers team and a dedicated umpire, Zali is a highly respected figure at our club. She is incredibly consistent, determined, and supportive both on and off the court. While she knows how to rise to the occasion—as shown by her 2025 NCAS Most Outstanding Athlete award and this latest state selection—she is also the ultimate club sportswoman.

At a recent training session playing against younger athletes, Zali perfectly adjusted her game. She applied just the right amount of defensive pressure to give them a taste of playing against one of Ballina’s best defenders, while naturally pulling back to let their own skills and confidence grow.

We couldn’t be prouder of Zali's achievements, her skill, and above all, her fantastic attitude. Best of luck in Sydney, Zali!

Throwback to 2022!
