Adorable four-year-old playing netball in pink, glittery heels wins the heart of thousands across the globe
- Replies 1
One four-year-old, Hazel Flinn, captivated the internet last Sunday and all it took was slipping on polka-dotted leggings and a nice pair of pink, sparkly heels.
Hazel became the adorable face of the Australian netball community recently as she effortlessly strutted in her cute outfit during her very first game for the Rock-Yerong Creek Football Netball Club (RYCFNC).
She wore her goalkeeper bib upside down and insisted on wearing the leggings and the iconic pink heels to celebrate her birthday and debut netball game.
A snapshot of her went viral over the weekend, initially shared by the AFL Riverina account before stealing the attention of Super Netball Clubs including the Melbourne Vixens.

Kate Maloney (a veteran Vixen) along with Australian Diamond took the time to reach out to the four-year-old. They graciously organised a netball clinic as well as free tickets to a Vixens game for her entire team!
“Hey Hazel, it’s Kate Moloney here from the Melbourne Vixens,” she wrote in the message.
“All of us netballers absolutely loved seeing that photo of you playing netball on Sunday and absolutely owning it. But Hazel, feel free to wear whatever you want.”
“We’d love to meet you and we’d also really love to come and run a clinic at The Rock for your entire club as well as get your team to a Melbourne Vixens game live in Melbourne,”
And to add to that, the New South Wales Swifts also joined in and said that Hazel will get to deliver the ball to the centre circle for their upcoming Super Netball clash against the Queensland Firebirds this weekend.
Hazel’s mum, Katherine Flinn, said the responses have been overwhelmingly positive.

“We came to the netball game – not expecting her to play but I absolutely expected her to wear those shoes,” she said.
“Every single message has been of love and positivity... to Hazel, her style, and any kid who’s exactly like Hazel,” she said. “Our little community is going to do so well from it. It recognises how amazing our little community is.”
“Smart little one! She needed the heels to give her height advantage,” one Facebook user wrote.
“This entire photo is perfection.” another user shared on Twitter.
“Very stylish. I love it!” a third praised.
