The North East Girls Water Polo programme held its second session of the season this month, as December’s busy calendar means there won’t be time for another before the end of the year.

The session brought together players from across the region for a focused and energetic day of development. The more senior girls worked hard on movement in a drop defence and sharpened their skills with fast-paced passing drills.

The younger girls were split into two groups: one group joining the older players to concentrate on giving maximum effort in defence, while the other group focused on the technical elements of an arc/ball line press. Both groups showed fantastic commitment and progress throughout the session.

A huge well done to all the girls for their brilliant work in the pool, and a big thank you to our dedicated coaches, Matt, Izzi, Claire, Chris and Gabby, for leading the session. We’re also grateful to our helpers, Phoebe and Jess, who stayed on to support the younger players.

The North East Girls have made an excellent start to the season, and we’re excited to see their progress continue in the new year!
