Netball Performance CampLed by Embley's Head of Netball, Zoe Leavers, this performance camp will focus on developing and enhancing players' technical and tactical skills through a series of targeted workshops. The camp is designed for girls who have experience playing netball at school or club level and already have a good understanding of the game. Our aim is to challenge and motivate netballers who are eager to push themselves, grow their confidence, and take their game to the next level. Miss Leavers has over 30 years of playing experience and during her time at university captained both the England and British universities teams, which she then went on to coach.

Students will receive position‑specific coaching, allowing them to refine the technical skills most relevant to their role. Training sessions will include a strong emphasis on game‑based scenarios, encouraging players to improve their decision making under pressure. To deepen players’ understanding of the sport, the camp will also feature tactical awareness sessions, a structured strength and conditioning block and a dedicated recovery block. Alongside this, players will receive practical nutrition and hydration advice to help them understand how to fuel their bodies for training, recovery, and competitive play. Mr Turner has a degree in Coaching and Sports Development and over nine years of experience as Head Coach (U18) at Winchester RFC.
