Though Lara Klingsporn’s years are few, her achievements on the court are many.
At just 13, she was called up to the Bonnie Doon U15s netball team last year and played her part in an unbeaten season that culminated in a grand final victory.
This year, as the team chased back-to-back premierships, Lara rewrote the league's record books.

She smashed the regular season scoring record by nearly 150 goals, finishing with 594 for Bonnie Doon.
And when finals rolled around, she played a vital role in driving her team on to glory, propelling the U15s to success in their grand final once again.
Her dominance on the court and staggering potential were recognised last year by scouts from the Bendigo Sports Academy.
Lara was one of 100 girls from across Victoria invited to a trial, with only 30 selected for the prestigious program.
She made the cut.
Based out of Shepparton, the academy focuses on skill development, and Lara has been sharpening the qualities that set her apart: reading the game, creating space, clean ball handling, and the quickness of both feet and mind that so often sees her pull off an intercept.
She is an outstanding netballing talent.
If she keeps working hard and developing her game, it won’t be long before she spreads her wings and makes Mansfield Shire proud on the biggest of netball stages.
