Netball Festival

28 Apr Netball Festival

Adaeze in Year 10 took up the invitation to attend a Netball festival in Redbridge during the Easter holidays to practise her netball skills and participated in a tournament led by Essex Metropolitan County netball players.

The event was promoted to target students in East London who would not normally get the chance to take part in sports events and was organised by London Youth, the Jack Petchey Foundation and Essex Open Netball Club.

“There were 2 different warm-ups / basic skills and drills in the morning session; different passes, different ways to get into space and a fun tournament in the afternoon session that was led by Essex Metropolitan County netball players and qualified netball umpires.

There were 5 teams we won 4 of our games, and my team came 2^nd. It was really fun, I played as WD, and I enjoyed it”.
