Netball

Netball has become the most popular female sport at the Crypt school. All girls have the opportunity to play netball competitively as part of a team, with two senior teams, and at least 2 teams per year group in Y7-10.
Our girl’s accomplishments in netball have exceeded expectations! We continue to produce some fantastic results against local grammar schools, private schools and academies. As well as this, our inclusive playing schedule has led to the active participation of almost ¾ of the year group in all years. Girls love to play netball here at the Crypt school and have ample opportunity to do so. 

"Inspiring the next generation of netballers"

With the introduction of our four refurbished outdoor netball courts and our single indoor netball court, our students benefit from training and playing regularly. We are delighted with the outcome of this new development and are eager to host plenty of tournaments and local matches.

Students have the opportunity to sign up to a uk based netball tour, playing against schools from the district and Wales. As well as this, we relish the opportunity to watch some elite level netball - following our local team Severn Stars. 

Many of our talented netballers have progressed onto working with our S&C coach, Ed Archer, within our Sports Academy programme. In their weekly sessions, students focus on all areas to increase their mobility, agility, speed and power. Five U13 students have successfully made it into both County programs. As well as this, we also have our own Severn Stars Nova Centre based at Crypt. Home grown talent Kiara Dixon represents the Crypt School with pride!

Our students benefit from regular practice slots during extra-curricular sessions and during their games afternoons. The school has benefited from employing Miss Cantin, a well respected former U19 England netball player to guide the girls through all aspects of the game. As well as this, Miss Williams offers a great deal of knowledge to our younger students as well.
