A coaching camp designed to improve the standard of local netball players is being organised for later this month.

Sport Hampshire & IOW, in partnership with Elite Sports Camps, are running the camp at Millbrook School, Southampton for three days from Wednesday, July 26 to Friday July 28. It will provide coaching from coaches with CRB disclosure.

"The course is designed for 11-16 year old girls who want to learn and develop their netball skills in an enjoyable and safe environment," said a spokesman."This is a great opportunity to do something fun, active and social during the summer holidays."

To cover the cost of coaching, venue hire and refreshments, the summer camp will cost £105 per participant.

The course also includes a talk from a Team Bath Super League player and advice about injury prevention and nutrition.
