PGL netball weekend was full of adrenalin activities and games
Earlier this term, Mrs Woollard and Ms Coles from the PE department arranged a packed weekend of netball and adventure activities for 28 of our dedicated netball players at PGL in Boreatton Park near Shrewsbury.
As part of this fun activity-based weekend, there was a netball tournament where we had three teams (U13, U14 and U15) compete against other schools from across the country as far as Birmingham, Northumbria, Cheshire and Yorkshire. This provided a great opportunity for students to compete against other schools and benefit from teambuilding as they could bond on and off the court.
The netball tournament consisted of six matches over two days where our teams were aiming to get enough points to qualify for the semi-finals and finals. The netball games were tough and highly competitive, with all teams pushing themselves to perform at their best.
The U13 team stood out with impressive performances and they battled their way to reach the semi-finals of the tournament, which was a fantastic achievement. Mrs Woollard said “Their sportsmanship and skill was commendable and they should all be incredibly proud of their achievement.”
Beyond the netball courts, students embraced a wide range of adrenalin filled adventure and leisure activities including zip lining, trapeze, rifle shooting, giant swing, abseiling, rock climbing, a silent disco and sports day-style games. Students showed enjoyment, courage, bravery, friendship and had a wonderful time trying all the activities with their friends.
Overall, despite some wet weather, it was a fantastic weekend full of sport, fun, challenges, friendship and comradery. Our students were incredible ambassadors for the school who made it a special weekend with unforgettable memories. Well done to all involved!
