Korora sports star Valla Parsons is fast making a name for herself on the footy field.
The 12-year-old is excelling at Australian Football, the sport she loves, so much so she recently represented her State at the national schools championships.
Valla was a member of the NSW Sapphires who were runners-up at the School Sport Australia – Australian Football Girls 12 years titles at Maroochydore.
Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh today presented Valla with a NSW Government State Representative Award in recognition of her achievement.
“It’s important we celebrate our successes and Valla certainly has plenty to cheer about at the moment,” Mr Singh said.
“She is a fantastic ambassador for the Coffs Coast and she has worked hard to gain representative honours.
“Valla’s dedication will take her a long way in her chosen sport. She is assured of a bright future.”
Valla is a year six Kororo Public School student and plays for the Northern Beaches Blues in the AFL North Coast’s Youth Girls 13s competition.
