Elizabeth George, 19, and Liz Bundy, 20, were selected for the twelve player squad from a group of sixty students from England at the trials in Nottingham on the 28th January. They will compete against the Scotland universities netball team and the Scotland National netball team in the first week of April in Edinburgh.
The players were assessed on their basic skills, warm-up, group ball drills and overall play in a game situation.
Elizabeth George, who is her second year of a Sport and Exercise Science degree at the University and plays goal-attack for the netball team, said: “I was stunned and amazed that I was chosen, especially as I have not played at such a high level of netball for a while. I am really proud and am looking forward to wearing the England Universities kit.”
Liz Bundy, who is captain of the University’s netball first team and is in her third year of a Film, Radio and Television Studies Degree, said: “I am still pinching myself and being selected probably will not sink in until I put the kit on and play. It is a great achievement for me and it will raise the profile of sport at Canterbury Christ Church University.”
Students, teachers, parents and players inspired by Elizabeth and Liz’s achievements can further their coaching and umpiring skills in the England Netball Combined Course held at Canterbury Christ Church University.
The one day course will provide participants with an understanding of the essential skills required to coach and umpire netball and is suitable for those interested in introducing netball to children aged 7 to 11. The course teaches basic skills, progressive practises and an introduction to High Five and First Step netball.
The course takes place on Sunday 18th March from 10am to 4pm in the University’s Gymnasium, North Holmes Campus, Canterbury. This event is open to the public and costs £22 for students and £25 for non-students
