Three girls from Bishop’s Stortford College are celebrating offers from major netball teams following trials last month.
Harriet H, Ellie L and Alex P have all secured places with London Pulse after a full day of trials at the London Copper Box Arena – the London venue for the National Performance Netball league.
London Pulse is one of 10 National Performance League teams and Harriet will shortly take up her place in its U17’s High Performance Hub.
Following warm-ups, the girls were put through their paces. The standard was very high and all the games fast paced. Each game was just 10 minutes long and the girls played 3 or 4 games each, depending on the draw in the first 10 rounds.
All three received an email from the selectors congratulating them on their performances and for securing a place in one of the Pulse U17 hubs.
Katie W is also celebrating her place in the County Academy. This is the second step on the England Netball Performance Pathway and is aimed at 14-16 year old’s who are looking to progress further in netball.
Elite players at the College are supported by an Elite Sports Programme which offers bespoke strength and conditioning training tailored to the individual and their sport, if necessary, an adapted timetable to accommodate training time and expert coaching.
