Back to Netball 2019

Back to Netball

HLNC will be running 10 ‘Back to Netball’ sessions led by a UKCC Level 2 coach, to provide a gentle re-introduction to the game.  You will be shown techniques to help you master the basic skills like passing, catching and footwork.  Along with this, each week you will also be given an understanding of the rules which will allow you to take part in match play in a fun environment with like minded ladies.

What is Back To Netball?

Back to Netball is an initiative introduced by England Netball which has been running since 2010.  Sessions are held nationwide where women aged 16+ who have not taken to a court for a few years or since school, are encouraged to come along and have a go.  Since its formation, 60,000 women have taken part and seen the benefits of getting involved in a fun, team sport. Hundreds of women from all over the country are getting “Back to Netball” each week so whether it is about rediscovering sporting abilities you forgot you had or becoming active again, Back to Netball is a fun way of getting fit and making friends.

Where and when:

The sessions will be held on the HLNC courts at the Leicester Road Sports Ground, Leicester Road, Hinckley LE10 3DR between 7.00 – 8.15pm.

The dates for 2019 are:

  • Monday 4th, 11th, 18th & 25th March
  • Monday 1st, 8th, 15th & 29th April
  • Monday 13th & 20th May

New added dates:

  • Monday 10th, 17th & 24th June

How to get there:

To get to the courts, follow the signs to Leicester Road Sport Club turning off the Leicester Road into the Hinckley Rugby Club complex. Follow the road along and past the tennis courts. Go through the large metal gates and keeping the clubhouse on your left, go past this and you will see the courts and plenty of parking space in front on you. Cost will be £3 per session.

What you will need:

You don’t need any special kit, just clothes that you feel comfortable exercising in and suitable trainers that lace up. Converse or fashion canvas “plimsoll” types are not allowed, as you will be running and jumping so suitable footwear that provide grip and ankle support is a must. For safety, you will be required to remove all jewellery (wedding bands can be taped), nails need to be short with long hair tied back and don’t forget to bring plenty of water to keep hydrated!

We are already taking expressions of interest for these sessions so if you think this might suit you and want to give it a go, we would love to hear from you.  To put your name down to be kept informed or if you would like any further information about this please email Gemma Braga (gemmabraga267@gmail.com) who will be leading the B2N sessions.

Wednesday 19th October – HLNC G and H Match Report

It was a top of the table clash this week for Hinckley Ladies G team as they took on Highway at the Xcel Centre in Coventry.  Captain Katie Foster playing her last match for Hinckley, lead from the front and was inspirational at GD taking a batch of interceptions and turning play around to send the ball back into attack. Hinckley hung on to slender lead in what was a very evenly matched contest. However in the last quarter Hinckley put in a surge which proved decisive as they  took a 26 – 15 win which sees them move into top spot in the league. Player of the match was shared between Helen Vause and Anna Ball.

Hinckley H were full of confidence from their win last week as they met Queens Diamonds Rugby. However, both teams made a lot of unforced errors and at times the ball struggled to get to either attacking end. Hinckley saw the lead they had gained whittled down and it was anyone’s match in the last quarter as the teams matched each other goal for goal. Luck however was on Hinckleys side as time was blown at 16 – 15 in their favour. Player of the Match went to Sam Davis at Goal Shooter.
