Our innovative and experienced coach, Jen Usher, is UKCC Level 3 certified. The Wycliffe Netball programme enables us to develop, support and identify talent at every level.
Netball is the major game in the Spring term and offers a busy and competitive fixture card on Thursday and Sundays for the three junior and two senior teams. The highly competitive Friday night match against local opposition is always a highlight of the season.
Fixtures are training sessions are filmed using State-of-the-art VEO cameras. This allows for the players to accurately review their plays and create plans to self-improve.
The added benefit of hosting an onsite High Performance Academy and the Birmingham Panthers Player Development Programme means that Netball Scholars are able to commit to the netball programme alongside the busy demands of a Boarding School, both academic and extra curricular.
Wycliffe’s first team compete in county tournaments for all ages and national schools magazines. This provides players with a great opportunity to compete on both a regional and national stage.
Wycliffe College is a host venue for one of three Player Development Programmes (PDP) in the Birmingham Panthers franchise region. Lead by UKCC Level 3 Assistant Coach Jen Usher and Team Manager Janey Garrard, we have a strong history of successful athletes progressing into the franchise and England pathway.
The PDP provides a high-performance training environment for players who have not made the elite U19/U17 squads yet show potential to progress. Recognised as part of the England Netball Pathway it also provides opportunity for talented U15 players to join that could be selected to the U15 Severn Stars School Games squad.
Training for successful athletes is currently 3hrs on a Monday night, which includes Strength and Conditioning as well as Technical training.
