Netball Workshop

During the recent school holidays, a group of KEHS netball players attended a workshop at Margate Sports School. The week-long experience proved both enjoyable and enriching, offering a blend of learning and fun. Throughout the workshop, the girls participated in high-level training sessions, received expert coaching, and played a number of friendly matches. They gained valuable insights into strategy, positioning, and teamwork, all of which are expected to lead to improvement in their future performances. The girls also enjoyed success on the court, winning most of their matches, showing signs of growth and cohesion as a team. It was a fantastic week that enhanced their skills and boosted team spirit and confidence.
