U9 Netball v Warwick

We took three U9 netball teams to Warwick for a 5-a-side match, with players rotating positions throughout the game. The girls played with enthusiasm and showed good improvement in moving into space. They communicated well and supported each other on the court, but need to work on timing their runs and driving in front of defenders. This will help them work the ball down the court better. Overall, the girls enjoyed the match and are steadily improving.
