Congratulations to C.Duckworth, R.Walker & P.Penfold on their selection for the squad. They will be attending regular coaching sessions at Loughborough University to extend & enhance their abilities in preparation for the next stage of the EN Talent Development programme. For more information on Talent ID please view the England Netball website the link is on the Links page.

Congratulations to two of our club players who have been invited to join the Superleague Loughborough Lightning Development squad. Laura Price & Nicola Caunt were members of the Regional Talent Development squad last year & whose playing talent is now being enhanced by weekly coaching sessions at Loughborough University. Both players will also be playing in matches in the England Netball Talent League which will take place before the Superleague matches.

This is a big commitment for these two players but one which gives them further opportunities to develop their potential in netball.

Both players are now members of the club's first team squad playing in the Premier Division of the league.

The Junior League for U11, U12, U13 & U14 age groups started on the13th. October (Cliftonettes matches scheduled for that date were postponed).

The next fixture date is the 3rd. November when U14 & U13 squads are involved.

Fixture lists were distributed to all affiliated players last week at training.

Please view the JUNIOR SECTION page for a copy of the fixtures for this season & the COMMITTEE MEMBERS page for details of coaches/ team managers for each age group.

We are very grateful to our club members from the senior section & parents who have taken on responsibilities within the juniors as coaches/ assistant coaches/ team managers and umpires. Without their commitment, help, support, time & effort it would not be possible for our junior players to participate in the coaching/ training sessions on a monday evening and the various competitions.

Club training sessions for both the juniors 6.00- 7.30pm & seniors 7.30- 9.00pm are taking place as usual on Monday 22nd. October.

Could players please attend if at all possible since there are Senior League fixtures taking place on Saturday 27th. October & therefore squads need to prepare for these.

The Junior League matches for U11, U12, U13 & U14 teams are starting very soon & there is still much work to be done with all the age groups to prepare for these.

The East Midlands Regional Talent Development Screening Day took place on Saturday 13th. October at Loughborough University which selects potentially talented players for training & coaching.

Ten players from Nottinghamshire were selected to attend the screening day which involved fitness activities & testing, skill analysis as well as team play.

Several club players from the U15, U16 & U17 age groups attended the screening. We await the result of their performance.

The NNA WINTER LEAGUE is scheduled to started on Saturday 6th. October 2007. The Fixture lists for the PREMIER DIVISION, DIVISION 1 & DIVISION 2 are on the Downloads Page.
DIVISION 2: Gold (U15) & Royal (U15)

The selection process is still ongoing at the training sessions on Monday evening. It is vital that all members who are intending to be participants in the league please attend training. Teams are still in the process of being organised for this Winter League. The senior coaches/ assistant coaches are keen to ensure that selection is as positive as possible. With all members in attendance this would make team play & selection effective. SQUAD LISTS can be viewed on the Senior Section page.
