Welcome from Rugby School
A warm welcome to Rugby School to you all. We are excited to be hosting the 2019-20 ISA U13 Junior
Girls’ Netball and hope that you all enjoy being part of this tournament.

At Rugby we pride ourselves on our coaching provision and facilities which we are delighted to be
sharing with you today.

My career spans over 20 years with Birmingham Blaze Super league netball team, Warwickshire Netball,
Copsewood Diamonds National Clubs division 1 Netball team. I Captained Warwickshire and West
Midlands Senior Netball from 2001 – 04 and currently coach Wasps U17 Academy.

Alongside myself, we have Abi Canning, Warwickshire County Coach, and Tamsin Moala, Wasps Super
League player, who help support the programme all-year round. Training takes place in the 2 indoor
netball courts or 7 outside netball courts.

Other key facts about netball at Rugby School are:

     All Scholars play Netball as their major Lent term sport but are encouraged to enhance their
      Netball experience at the School in a number of ways throughout the year.
     Warwickshire U14 and U16 academies and Wasps U17 academy train at Rugby school and
      coaches liaise with players to ensure continuity of training is applied.
     Training matches against the County Academies and Wasps academies take place frequently.
     All Girls ‘s involved in County programmes are encouraged to attend Academy sessions
      throughout the year and the departments make all necessary arrangements to ensure players can
      arrive at representational matches outside of school time.
     Weekly training sessions take place Monday and Wednesday evenings throughout the year and
      on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the Lent term.
     Scholars receive 1:2:1 sessions specific to their positions, such as shooting clinics, and interception
      workshops.
     The School enters the national school’s Netball competitions at U14, U16 and U18 age groups and
      the ISNC Smile cup at U15 and U19 age groups.
     There is a bi-annual Tour to Singapore/Australia for the senior girl’s teams and a junior tour every
      2 years, which means every netballer at the School will have a chance to tour twice in the Lower
      and the Upper School.

Enjoy your day and if you have any questions please do ask a member of Rugby School staff.

Director of Sport & Head of Girls Netball, Rugby School

Welcome from ISA

On behalf of the Independent Schools Association, may we extend a warm welcome to all the players,
parents, supporters and staff to Rugby School for the sixth National Netball Finals. This is the first time we
have hosted the event at Rugby School, an excellent venue for this tournament, and I trust you will enjoy
your visit to this wonderful location. ISA Sport is working with the School to provide first class facilities for
schools’ competitions. We would like to thank Debbie Skene and her supporting staff for the assistance in
holding our tournament at Rugby.

Seven ISA regions have the opportunity to take part in over 40 national events. ISA sport has a mission to
increase the number of events it offers over the next few years at both regional and national level. The
hosting of more events at prestigious venues such as the London Aquatic Centre and Lee Valley Hockey and
Tennis Centre has been highly regarded by those schools that have attended. The indoor ski championships
at Hemel Hempstead provides a further draw to a top venue in April, and of course we have the annual
athletics finals to look forward to in late June. There are more events planned for next year and we trust
many of the pupils here today will have an opportunity to take part in some of them. The real beauty of ISA
sports’ provision however, is that whether you are an individual, in a small school, or a team in a large
school, there is something for everyone.

We hope all the participants, parents and staff enjoy their experience today. There is a full entry and the
competition will be close as always. Schools have travelled from many parts of the country and in keeping
with the ethos of ISA sport, we trust everyone will try as hard as possible while playing with a positive
spirit. Enjoy your day and good luck to everyone!
