Gurus & Role Models
Saloni learnt netball at Central Academy School, where she was coached by Harshwardhan Singh. His coach has been always supportive and helpful in her efforts to improve her talent.

She is happy that her parents have always encouraged her to follow her passion for netball, regardless of the societal prejudices.
The Talent
Saloni explains that Netball is a fast-paced team sport played on a rectangular court, with each team consisting of seven players. The primary objective is to score goals by passing and throwing the ball into a hoop, which has an attached pot. What sets netball apart is its non-contact nature, where players must pass the ball within three seconds and are not allowed to move while holding it. The game enhances agility, teamwork, and strategic positioning, as players are restricted to specific areas of the court. Netball offers numerous benefits, including improved stamina, strength, running skills, and overall physical fitness.
Achievements
Saloni is happy to have led her team to victory at many district level tournaments. She has also had opportunities to compete in state-level competitions as well as open national netball tournaments.

She tells other young stars that netball is a unique and innovative activity that enhances their abilities, strength, and fitness while also allowing them to discover new things. She adds it's also a great game for girls.
