Back in 1996 in year 5 at St John Fisher Primary
School in Coventry, a group of us were taken under the wing of PE teacher Mrs
Blackmore and taught the basics of netball. We loved it. Break times couldn’t
come around fast enough as we dashed to the playground to practise, wearing
bibs that were too big and with posts that were too high.
Come the following
year we were competing against other schools, and rather successful at doing
so, with league, cup and tournament wins under our belts. When pictures of us
with our trophies appeared in the local Coventry Telegraph we felt famous –
very exciting for a group of 10-year-olds.
