KEEPING FIT AND HAVING FUN WITH A RETURN TO NETBALL COURSE

Motiv8 Thornhill, a project jointly funded by Thornhill Plus You and Southampton City Council, are calling out to all women over the age of sixteen to try out the new ‘Return to Netball' sessions, running every Tuesday evening 6pm to 7pm, at the Grove Park Business and Enterprise College.

Each session will include a mixture of fitness building, basic netball skills and playing friendly matches. The sport is a fun and social way of returning to the sport many women haven't played since they were at school.

‘Return to Netball' is being funded by Sport Hampshire and Isle of Wight and has been organised by Priya Samuel, Partnership Netball Development Officer and Motiv8 Thornhill. Charlotte Sharp e from Motiv8 Thornhill commented: “We hope the session will provide an excellent way of getting women involved in sport, whilst providing a positive and fun experience”.

The session has already proved very popular with residents of Thornhill and the city, with over twenty women registering for the course. If you would like further information, please call Kirsty Ball or Charlotte Sharpe at Motiv8 Thornhill on 023 8091 5812 or email kball@thornhillplusyou.co.uk.
