Netball Youth Camp Brings Skills, and Friendship to Leicester!

Over half term, we hosted a fantastic Netball Youth Camp at The Highfields Centre, Leicester, and we’re thrilled to say it was a huge success! With all places fully booked, young players had a brilliant day developing their skills, learning the rules, and working together as teams.

Thanks to funding from Sport England, we were able to provide a fun and engaging experience for local children to get active, meet new friends, and enjoy learning the game of netball. The morning focused on learning and practicing key skills, from passing and shooting to footwork and defending. It was great to see everyone making fantastic progress throughout the day, improving their understanding of the game and supporting their teammates.

The afternoon saw the players put their new skills into action with mini, small-sided matches, where teamwork shone through. We finished the session by reflecting on what we had learned, discussing our favourite activities, and thinking about why we enjoyed them. The children filled in speech bubble hearts to share their thoughts, highlighting their achievements and favourite moments.

It seemed what everyone enjoyed the most were the fun warm-ups, which got everyone moving, laughing, and ready to take on the day, closely followed by the small sided games. The energy and enthusiasm on court were amazing to see!

The day was focused around having fun, meeting new friends, and enjoying netball, and it was wonderful to see so many happy faces leaving the court!

We’re hoping to run more sessions over Easter... so keep an eye out on our social media for updates!
