We won £100 from Wesport! Genesis Netball Club is committed to developing each season and as such we are keen to ensure that we get the most out of our training sessions.
We were therefore delighted to hear that we had won third prize in a survey we had completed on behalf The West of England Sport Trust (Wesport).
We decided to spend our £100 prize on training equipment, focusing on aids that would allow us to run a comprehensive warm up session, in the style of circuit training, every fortnight. With this in mind we have purchased: 2 Reebok fitness mats, 2 medicine balls, some plastic space markers, an adjustable skipping rope and a speedrope skipping rope.
Genesis Netball Club would like to express our thanks to Wesport.
