Hawks Netball Club Senior training is on a Wednesday evening at St Ives Outdoor Centre from 7.30-9.00pm.
Training is run by certified coaches and combines elements of fitness with specific netball-related skills and drills. We have regular guest coaches including Hawks founder Helen Stepney, Strength and Conditioning with Emily Jelley and sessions with some of our other club coaches. As a club we are looking to develop further coaches and umpires within the club with mentoring and support available for those members looking to get more involved.
Matches are an integral part of each training session with regular match play evenings, coached match play and friendlies against other local clubs to provide additional opportunities to develop whole court and team strategies. Competitive matches are played on weekends and Thursday evenings during the winter season and weekday evenings during summer season.
Winter league is the most competitive season running from around September to Easter we will have 3 teams playing in CDNL League. After recent promotions we will have 2 teams in Division 2, and 1 in Division 3, as well as three teams in the Fenland Winter League. There is competitive matches for all abilities with players being named to a team at the start of the season and provide the opportunity to ‘play-up’ in a higher division where needed to help with personal development and to support the club as a whole.
Summer leagues is more friendly in nature, with teams being placed in groups depending on their winter league results. We enter teams in the NCNL League at Hinchingbrooke School, Fenland and CDNL summer leagues so there is plenty of opportunity to play throughout the year.
We have league, club and mixed tournaments are played throughout the year, and along with KC Cup and charity matches and guest playing for other clubs which are a great opportunity to play against different teams and with different team mates, to build on skills, fitness….and generally have a lot of fun.
