Last week, the Shiplake netball girls were treated to a special training session led by a current Netball Superleague player from Surrey Storm. Surrey Storm is one of ten teams from England, Wales and Scotland that play in the UK’s top-level, elite netball competition.
Emily Gulvin has played for Surrey Storm for three seasons as their wing attack and centre and is a valued member of their team.
Emily led the girls for a fun warm-up game, followed by working on passing down court into attack. The drills worked on movement around court and accurate passing.
This was followed by learning a few set-plays for centre passes, focusing on starting positions and space on court. The girls found the session incredibly useful and learnt many new skills that can be applied for their netball season, beginning next Wednesday.
Hattie Austin, a Year 13 netball player, said she found the session to be, "educating for attack play and useful skills to use in matches. We were all inspired by a high performing young female athlete in netball".
Shiplake netball girls have been training all of last term and every Monday and Thursday this term for their Wednesday U18 Berkshire Netball League matches against local schools.
Good luck to both the A and B Shiplake teams for this netball season!
