What is High 5 Netball and what will I learn at the Workshop?
High 5 is the recommended 5-a-side version of the 7-a-side netball game developed for 9-11 year olds. It gives every child the chance to experience and enjoy every position, as well as off-court roles. It boosts fitness and adaptability and provides a great social framework for players to strengthen friendships (https://www.englandnetball.co.uk/high5/).

If you want to learn more about the game of High 5, the skills involved and how to get it up and running in your school or local community, then this course is for you! The three-hour practical workshop is accompanied by a DVD, which covers all you need to know about passing, moving, footwork and shooting. 

You will be provided with handy skills cards to use during the sessions, High 5 rotation sheets, a centre pass marker, scorecards and a rulebook to help you and your players become more familiar with the game.

Julie Tucker said:
“We have regional and club training available. Once you’ve attended an assessment training session with the regional squads - we would be able to give you feedback and signpost you towards the best netball to meet your needs.”
 
“Our squads are made up of main squad players and also training partners - the latter are athletes we feel have potential but may not be ready for full squad competing status so we attach them to the right age squad to ensure they receive the right training.“
 
Training nights for the assessment will be held throughout March at the following times and venues:

• U13: Friday, 7:00pm-8.30pm, at Hazeley
• U14: Thursday, 6:00pm-9:00pm, Leon Academy
