Year 4 Gear Up for Netball Season

Our Year 4 girls have taken part in an internal fixture afternoon this week in preparation for the netball season that starts next term. The Year 4 girls team will play alongside teams from other year groups, which include both mixed and all-girls squads.

After warming up, our girls prepared for a full game of netball. They learnt where to stand for the start of a match and how to take the first centre pass correctly, ensuring that the ball was caught in the centre third.

During the match the girls played a range of positions, developing their knowledge of where they are allowed to go on court and allowing them to change their opposite player. All the girls played brilliantly; the ball was passed down the court well and by the end of the game they were more confident moving into a space to receive the ball.

The afternoon finished with the highly anticipated squash and cookies; a fitting reward for the excellent camaraderie and confidence shown by all.

Netball is a fantastic sport that allows our pupils to learn the value of good communication and inter-team support. Our mixed Junior Netball Club runs every Tuesday after school from 4.00pm to 5.00pm on the outside netball courts. We welcome all of our pupils to come along and join in the fun.
