Lights, Camera and Netball Action!
England Players and Sky Sports at Sheffield High
It was lights, camera and netball action at Sheffield High School as the top names on the England Netball scene came in to coach the school teams and all recorded by Sky Sports!
Current England Netball Captain Amanda Newton, Karen Atkinson the current Vice Captain and the long serving player Tracey Neville, former England international and sister of Gary and Phil Neville, came in to promote the netball road show which will be run over the summer. This will involve England players past and present travelling to different locations in the UK and holding training sessions for children interested in netball. As this season, the National Superleague playoffs will be held in Sheffield, and the upcoming International Test Series will also be held at the Sheffield Arena, netball is obviously being promoted by England Netball.
The footage filmed at Sheffield High is being shown on the programme ‘Netball Superleague Show’ on Sky Sports Thursday 28 February at 5.00pm and 9.30pm. This is a weekly netball programme featuring games from across the Netball Superleague in the UK. Each week a feature in the programme is shown looking at different teams within the Superleague and what they are doing within the community.
The Sheffield High School girls who have played for the school A teams (aged 11 to 18) loved the chance to meet these famous players, to ask them questions, take photos and get their autographs. They were then coached by Amanda, Karen and Tracey in skills and team drills and with the added excitement of the TV cameras filming their every move! As Sheffield High School Netball Captain Sarah Wilkinson presented flowers to the England players she said ‘It has been so exciting having you into school to coach us. We have learned so much and you have been a huge inspiration to us all, thank you!’
