We were lucky enough to be coached by Ashley Neal, one of the Mavericks professional super league players! We were so excited, and she certainly pulled the training session off! Because a lot of our club members are short, we asked her to do a session on defending. We wanted to know how we could successfully defend and make more of an impact in games, so Ashley lead some drills that were really helpful in achieving this. For example, she taught us how to dictate and improve our defence stances. We all really enjoyed the session and wish that we can repeat this experience in the future.
Christmas 2016:Every year for the past few years, we have eaten at the Dog and Duck pub in our local village for our netball Christmas meal. They always cook us delicious, nutritious food and have great hospitality. We always complete a fun quiz, that has been organised and created by one of the players and finish the night toasting to everyone in the club! We thank the Dog and Duck for having us. Watching international netball matches:Many of us get together and watch England Netball matches at the Copper Box Arena. Additionally, we watch local super league teams compete against each other.
During one of the England Netball matches, one of our juniors had the amazing opportunity of being a ball girl, which also involved her holding the England flag at the start of the match. What a moment for our junior to experience and what a historic moment for our club! |
