Please Club and School News The U12 project is back!! After the success of last year s U12 project, Essex Met has decided to repeat the project. This time the project will take place in Havering and Redbridge. The scheme is designed to give girls 12 years and under a chance to receive FREE coaching from qualified coaches for 8 weeks in a local school: in the sessions they will work with the girls to develop their skills and to help them become ready to play 7s netball with confidence. It s open to all girls no matter their experience (could have lots, could have none!) it is about fun and enjoyment, even the Free tournament at the end of the 8 weeks will be played in a relaxed environment to ensure it is a place for the girls to learn and experience Netball in different ways, but mainly the focus will be ensuring they are happy to be there!
