Towards the end of 2012 I was chatting to a client about Netball and the fitness level required to play the sport. I didn't know much about the sport other than at School "girls play netball boys play basketball" which turns out to be rubbish as I now know there are male netball teams.
At the start of 2013 I went along to Ripley Netball Clubs training to see how they train and to see what exercises could be adapted to be sport specific for their training.
Since that first visit it has to be said I have got a lot of respect for the sport. The game is so physically demanding yet played with such grace and aggression.
I won tickets to see Loughborough Lightning play Manchester Thunder, thanks to a Twitter competition by Sophia Candappa. It was such a good night and I will happily go and watch again next season especially when it's such a good laugh for about £6.

If anybody was thinking "I need to get active, make friends and let my competitive side loose" I would recommend Netball all day long.
