Getting to know Bec Cole

The Southside Flyers season is upon us and we’ll be hosting their home matches at the State Basketball Centre.

We caught up with Bec Cole, captain of the Flyers to chat what she’s looking forward to about the new season, and re-living the Premiership win of 2024 at the State Netball an Hockey Centre earlier this year. 

Welcome to season 2025, what are you most looking forward to about this year?

I’m really looking forward to this group of girls.We have some core four players returning, but then we also have some exciting new faces. I think we’re definitely gonna be a threat in the competition, and we also have a great new coach. So, really, it’s a season of change and excitement.

You won the 2024 premiership here at the State Netball and Hockey Centre in Parkville, talk us through the winning moments of that game?

We went to game three, which, I guess was very stressful, but also super amazing because we won that championship through hard work and determination. And like you said, it was here at the State Netball Hockey Centre and it was amazing. We had our family, our friends, we had the Flyers fans. And to be out there on that court with everyone who loves us and supporting us, getting that win and holding that trophy up is, just something unmatched.

You train out at the State Basketball Centre in Knox, how have the facilities there helped you prepare for the season?

Returning this season at the State Basketball Centre, it’s been amazing. The facilities definitely create such a professional environment. With the gym, the recovery, the basketball courts, So for us, being able to turn up to work every day and train and and get better as a team, in those facilities is something that I do really feel lucky that we have.
