The North Warrnambool Eagles junior received a surprise call up from the Ballarat-based Sovereigns’ under 19 team.
Elliott said making the team permanently was now her goal.
“I would definitely like to be playing in the team in the future as a regular player,” she said.
“It’s definitely given me an insight to that level and what I need to achieve to get there, which has given me a sort of boost to want to improve to be in contention for the team next year.”
The 16-year-old says Sovereigns coach Guy Keane was helping her take the next step.
“Guy gave me specific feedback of contesting for the ball more often and strongly pulling the ball in whilst in the air, as well as being more confident in my choices when I’m on the court and backing myself,” she said.
