Y10 Sports Leaders
Mr Gould’s Y10 BTEC Sport class made the short trip to Spire Junior School this week in order to lead football sessions for almost 70 primary school pupils as part of the #letgirlsplay initiative, which aims to get more girls involved in football.
The Y10 students have been working on a unit of coursework involving sports leadership and used this visit as an opportunity to be assessed on their leading abilities. They did a great job, and are looking forward to similar opportunities to apply their leadership skills in the future.
Y10 Netball Update
With captain Ebony and super-centre Frankie unavailable to play in the Y10 Netball Cup, Rose G took over the role of captain as the team made the journey over to Springwell.
The defensive trio of Jorja, Nicole and Isabelle were joined in centre court by speedy Shakira and Y9 star Olivia O, whilst Rose and Emily remained on shooting duties. Throughout the evening these 7 girls battled hard and did a fantastic job of representing the school, managing a respectable 6th place.
Congratulations to Shakira who was nominated opposition player of the match on four occasions, finishing second in the Player of the Match (POM) league.
Y8 Netball Cup
The Y8 Netball Team finished off an impressive year with a very respectable third place in the Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire Netball Cup. This team are some of the most dedicated girls in the school in terms of attitude to and attendance at training, and they really showed that hard work pays off with some fantastic game play.
Captain Eva H was joined in centre court by the speedy Grace W, reliable Chloe B and the ultimate utility player Beth W. The defensive duo of Cindy L and Marceline T worked the goal circle with relative newcomer to the team Mia L, who achieved a huge number of turnovers and was rewarded with player of the match on two occasions. All of these players worked tirelessly in cold conditions to feed our increasingly accurate shooters Emily N and Kayla P, and together as a team this fabulous set of Y8 girls took the tournament by storm, only losing two games. The future is bright!
