Of Ngāti Kahungunu decent, Huia played her Māori Netball for Te Waipounamu throughout her secondary school years.  

"I am feeling very honoured and privileged to lead this campaign for 2018.  I am looking forward to seeing our talented secondary school players in Gisborne next month at National Tournament.  We will be selecting the best team of girls to travel to Australia to represent Aotearoa in May and will be looking to go back to back on the results from 2017.  Kura takahi puni".
