Charters Under 14 Netball girls played brilliantly, consistently winning all
their matches. The teamwork was excellent and their dedication and
commitment to training before school has paid off.”
Kate Maxfield, School Governor and Co-Coach who is a qualified netball coach
said, “All ten girls who play in the squad are incredibly committed and due to
lack of space we chose to train twice a week before school and during their
second breaks in the school day. Even with the recent bout of snow, they
all arrived to train at 7.30am, we trained and then they got sent home as school
was closed. They are hardworking and dedicated and I’m very proud to coach
them. They are fantastic ambassadors for Charters School, Berkshire and
South of England who they will be representing the in national
final.”
