Enjoyed playing Netball at school? Stopped playing and would love to start again? Looking for a new, fun activity?

My name is Emily Hearle and I am the Netball Development Community Coach for England Netball. My aim is to develop back to netball sessions in Leeds to women aged 16+ years.

What is back to netball? ‘Back to netball’ sessions are fun and enjoyable netball re-introductory sessions for women aged 16+ years. The netball sessions are aimed at women who want to try their hand at netball but have never played it before, for women who want to gain fitness or for women who want to purely attend for the social aspect of the game.

What does a B2N session entail? B2N sessions are a basic level netball session teaching you skills and techniques you need to play a game of netball. The sessions will help you to develop a netball team, join a social league or just provide you with an opportunity to enjoy a game of netball in a fun and social environment. Sessions can also just be about playing netball for an hour, with me on hand to umpire the games and offer feedback during match play if this is of more interest.

Where can I find 'back to netball' sessions?

Morley leisure centre, circuitNET, Tuesdays, 12.30-1.30pm, £2.80 for first 6 weeks, £4.80 thereafter
Carr Manor high school, back to netball, Wednesdays, 6.00-7.00pm, £1

What happens if I can’t make every session and what age do I need to be? If you can’t make every session this is not a problem due to the informal nature of the sessions.

So what are you waiting for?? Come and join myself and the ladies at 'back to netball' sessions, see you there!!

Taekwondo is one of the most systematic and scientific Korean traditional martial arts, that teaches more than physical fighting skills. It is a discipline that shows ways of enhancing our spirit and life through training our body and mind. Today, it has become a global sport that has gained an international reputation, and stands among the official games in the Olympics.

Let's take a closer look at the meaning of the word "Tae" "Kwon" "Do." It is composed of three parts as shown in the English spelling, though it is one word in Korean. "Tae" means "foot," "leg," or "to step on"; "Kwon" means "fist," or "fight"; and "Do" means the "way" or "discipline." If we put these three parts together, we can see two important concepts behind "Tae Kwon Do".
