When people are nominated for Fairparker of the Week, I normally contact them and ask them for a little of their history with the club and I DEMAND a photo of them without Snapchat filters. This week, I so wanted to surprise the extremely worthy winner that we’re flying blind and I’ve gone with her Facebook profile photo – Giant Massive Congratulations to our Fairparker of the Week Piper D’Amico
Piper is a very special favourite of an awful lot of people at Fairpark. The first to put her hand up if something needs doing, an extremely talented netballer, super smart AND she doesn’t force hugs on people who don’t want them! She’s kind of perfect really.
I was blessed to win the Best Club Person the same year as Piper won the Best Junior Club Person and so I like to count myself in the same company as someone as talented and smart as this lady. At the present moment, Piper can be seen umpiring (working super hard towards her C Badge), assistant coaching, playing, filling in for umpires, and she also attends our Senior Squad Training like an absolute pro.
Piper is also assistant/aspirant Umpire Convenor, learning all the ropes so she can manage the umpires for every aspect of Fairpark. Piper has massive things ahead of her in all aspects of netball (probably life really, have you met her?!?!?) and I can only hope to be around while she goes from strength to strength. Fairparker through and through, her loyalty and dedication is a delight.
Next time you see Piper at the courts (and you will, she’s there from 8:30 to 5:00 on a Saturday) please congratulate her and thank her for all she does.
And from me (Madam President and all that), Piper you’re an outstanding human being, I am honoured that you’re with our club and I can’t wait to see all you do with and for us! x
