Team Information
All girls in the LIV Form are included in the teams; we have a policy of inclusive competitive sport.
Lacrosse is played throughout the Autumn and Spring Terms, where an A Team which will involve up to 16 girls. We make every effort to have as many B Team matches as possible. Many schools however can only offer an A Team at U12 level. If this is the case we often have hockey or netball fixtures alongside the lacrosse.
Netball is played throughout the Autumn and Spring terms and we field A - D Teams.
The Junior Hockey Club will train weekly and keen hockey players are encouraged to participate in Club Hockey which usually takes place on Sundays.
Swim training and galas take place all year round.
The girls can enjoy Cross-Country Club and selected girls will be entered into competitions leading up to national level.
In the Summer Tennis and Athletics are the main sports and matches will take place throughout the week and on saturdays. We enter the Aegon Competitions A Team as well as friendly matches for A and B teams.
In Athletics, we have friendly matches and enter competitions to suit every ability level.

Netball matches take place weekly from the beginning of the Autumn Term. Lacrosse matches start after Half Term once the girls have begun to get to grips with what is usually a new sport for them.
