Over 70 children from Bathwick St Mary’s, St. Stephen’s Primary School, King Edward’s Junior School, Heywood Preparatory School and Springmead Preparatory School took part in the event.

The purpose of the day was to help the children improve their skills at the game and have an enjoyable day. By giving them confidence in their abilities it is hoped to encourage a lifelong enthusiasm for both netball and hockey.

Helen Tully, Acting Head of Girls’ Games at King Edward’s School commented:

“We are delighted to welcome such expert coaches to King Edward’s School. The Netball and Hockey Skills Day is a superb opportunity for pupils to develop their skills. It is also designed to be great fun. The coaches enjoy passing on their skills and their enthusiasm for sport. We very much hope that it will motivate the youngsters to follow in their footsteps.”
