From the small country town of Quaama, 20 kms from Bega on the far south coast of New South Wales, this Australian and world champion even has a grandstand in her name. “The Susan Pratley stand” in Bega, stands proudly as testament to the south coast’s first netball world champion.

Susan was identified in her early teens by Australian selectors and rose through the junior representative ranks with speed and poise including AIS and NSWIS scholarships.

Susan’s composure and focus are the cornerstones of her game.

Prats, as she is known, is sometimes referred to as ‘stats prats’ for her unbelievably accurate shooting percentages. This was evident in the 2009 ANZ Championship, where at the end of the regular season she was the highest ranked Australian shooter by percentage (84.9%).

Susan was rewarded for her performances throughout the 2009 ANZ Championship and the international season when she was named “NSW Swifts Member’s Player of the Year” and “New Idea Australia’s Favourite Diamond”.
