Earlier this term Pipers Corner PE Department were delighted to welcome England Netball Captain, Karen Atkinson, to school as she gave a special training session for U13s. Along with girls from other schools including Wycombe High, Sir William Borlase and St Bernard's, Pipers girls were excited to have the chance to train with a professional player.
Olivia Hall and Lucy McCarthy (both in MIV2) tell us what it was like to take part in the session:
"Karen based our group training on defence and also went round everyone individually giving us tips whilst we did some exercises that she had created for us. We found the warm up exercises quite tiring and different to our normal routine as they included new stretches.
At the end of the training session we played a few matches to practice the things we had learnt.
The session really helped us to improve our skills and we thoroughly enjoyed the two hours that Karen spent with us."
