Young netballers are being given a rare opportunity to learn from one of the game’s top shooters, as Emma Thacker brings her expertise to LEH next week.
Currently playing for London Mavericks and representing the England Roses, Thacker has quickly established herself as one of the most exciting attacking talents in English netball. Now, she’s set to pass on her knowledge in a focused shooting masterclass designed to elevate players’ accuracy, confidence, and decision-making under pressure.
Taking place on Wednesday 22nd April, the session promises high-quality coaching in an inspiring environment, offering attendees the chance to train like elite athletes and gain insight into what it takes to perform at the highest level.
This is a unique chance for aspiring shooters to refine their technique with direct guidance from a current international player – spaces are expected to fill quickly. We would recommend to any serious netball players who are looking to pursue netball beyond school.
We have been delighted to support the London Mavericks this season with hosting their training sessions at LEH.
