Congratulations to all the squad who have played throughout the season, and to Phil Webb, Junior Coach, for all her hard work.  There are many helpers to thank as well as the poor parents who have to stand and freeze on the sidelines week after week.  
A well deserved victory for all.  


Our U16 squad have also qualified for the Nationals AGAIN!!!  Massive congratulations to them too - WEEEEE ARE ON OUR WAY TO 'REDBRIDGE' !!!

Congratulations to all the players and teams who played at the Beginning of Season Rally! 

• Wealden 1 - 2nd Place

It was a fantastic way to start the season off with a bang! 
Lets go onwards and upwards for the rest of the season! 

Got Plans for the summer holidays? Why not head to NYC!!
The sun is shining, school will soon be over and the summer beckons! 
England Netball's Netball Youth Camps give junior players the chance to get together with their friends and take to the court in the sunshine! 

The camps will be running in every region of the country for three or give days, catering for girls between the ages of 9-16. There will be plenty of fun skills and match play as our coaches give expert tips ready for the season ahead!

The camps are non-residential holiday camps providing "Nothing but Netball". Not only will there be top quality coaching and fun netball activities but there is even an opportunity to meet and be inspired by an England player.

If you are a junior netball lover (or the parent of one) these are an unmissable summer holiday activity! 

By popular demand - age groups extended!
We have extended the age ranges for the following camps so even more youngers can now take to the court this summer:

• Univeristy of Kent, Canterbury - 9-14 year olds
  
• Cramlinton Sporting Club, Northumberland - 9-16 year old
  
• Farringdon Community Sports College, Sunderland - 9-16 year old

Chris Gerety Award
Since 2009 we have presented this award to a member who has shown outstanding commitment to Wealden.  Voted by the Committee

2014 Award presented to Jose Young

Jose has been a member of Wealden for many years.  Not only playing, but as Head Junior Coach for many years.   Recently, having retired from both playing and full time coaching, Jose has still maintained an active role, assisting with both Junior and Senior Selection, attending matches as sideline coach when she can and being a much valued member of the Committee.  Her last position was Vice Chair, but due to other personal commitments she has now decided to step down from that role, but will still be very much on the scene.

The U16 Regional Team have made it to National Finals in Redbridge on 24th & 25th May 2014.  A massive well done to all involved.  Coaches Phil Webb and Val Bennett are anticipating a great weekend of netball with a very strong squad, so strong it will be hard for them to decide on the 7 players who take the court!  

Good luck everyone, Best of British!!

Here is the squad!

• Yas Absolon (captain) 
  
• Tiff Haughton (vice captain) 
  
• Charis Heim (vice captain)

Wealden U16's were invited to play a touring Australian U16 School team on Easter Monday.  11 Players were able to make the holiday fixture and Phil Webb and Jose Young were their coaches on the day.

A very strong start saw Wealden take a convincing lead of 17-7 after the first quarter.  Phil was using her National Squad and made several changes in order to get different combinations on the court.  

Every player put and extraordinary amount of effort into their time on court, the shooting stats would have been very high and the defence were strong in every combination.

Many congratulations to the players and to Phil who has worked so hard to bring these girls up to this standard.

They are off to the National Tournament at the end of May - their squad is very strong and very capable - good luck girls!!
