High 5 Event

Players from Lougbrough Lightning's Main and Devlopment squad gave up their time to help out with a Hi 5's Event that had been organised by Bolsover Distirct Council and East Midlands Regional Unit.

The event that took place last Thursday the 22nd February was part of a PESSCL programme that John Barker, Jenny Carter and Gareth Hart (Regional Manager for East Midlands) have come up with to promote and try and form a netball club in Bolsover. John Barker Partnership Development Manager for

Bolsover & District School Sport Partnership said that the kids in the bolsover area do not play much netball and this event would hopefully be the beginning of a new club in the area.

On the 22nd February 5 schools from the Bolsover and District area came to Loughborough University to compete in a High 5's Festival, the player were adopted by Loughbrough Lightning players who taught them new skills and then helped them to play in the High 5's tournament in the afternoon.

Rachel Whitmore, Sara Parkinson, Becky Gentle, Sophie Holdstock, Fran Corgiolu, Kay Sparkes, Kaylea McQuade, Steph Dunn, Rachel Sharrod.
