Newcastle-under-Lyme School is delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with Superleague Netball Club, Loughborough Lightning, as it opens an Experience Hub in North Staffordshire for the first time.

The hub provides local Loughborough Lightning U15 and U17 girls with weekly training, including very high quality technical and tactical coaching from Lightning’s elite team. Additionally, members have the opportunity to attend a monthly educational programme aimed at enhancing off-court educational skills that are required to succeed within a performance pathway.

Headmaster, Michael Getty, said: “This is an incredibly exciting development not only for our school but for netball in Staffordshire.

To bring such fantastic coaching opportunities to the area for the netballers at our school and Staffordshire more widely is a real privilege and we cannot wait to see the hub commence.”
