Katie has just started her third season with Crosskeys. She has steadily worked her way up through the Senior squads, and is now a regular player in the First Team.
She is a very enthusiastic, committed and determined player. She also helps to coach the younger players, both at school and within our club. She is working towards her umpiring award, helping out at matches whenever possible. Katie’s biggest achievement to date has been
in securing a place in Saracen Mavericks U17’s netball squad.

Beth has been a member of Crosskeys for seven years. During that time she has developed her skills as a netball player dramatically, working hard in training, listening to her coaches and always adopting a great attitude.

Two seasons ago Beth trialled successfully to gain a place  in the Essex Netball Pathway and is a regular in their squad on match play days. Her enthusiasm and dedication to our club is evident in the support she gives to other players in helping them to “fit in” and that she is always willing to help out at events and at training with younger players.  In the future Beth intends gaining her umpiring and coaching qualifications, once her studies allow, so that she can continue to develop other areas of her netball.

Heidi has been with Crosskeys for several years. She has become a talented player and gives a lot of commitment to the club. She takes part in dance performances for local events such as “Remembrance Day”. She is filming with an Agency and also taking singing and acting exams. She is also taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme.

Tegan has been with Crosskeys for 7 years. She is a very committed member, even returning for the day from holidaying in Norfolk to captain her team in an important match.  She has also successfully trialled for the County Squad.  She helps to coach years 1 to 3 in the Club as well as years 7 and 8 at her School, and also attended a weekend tournament in Nottingham as an Assistant Coach.  This season she has qualified as a Level 1 Coach.  Tegan is a great role model for the younger members of the Club.

Emma is the youngest member of a very talented netball family.  Mum and two older sisters also play for Crosskeys.  Emma has been with us since she was eight years old and has always shown what an excellent player she is.  This season she has secured a place in our Herts 2 squad and has progressed enormously with her skills and knowledge.  Also this season Emma has taken an “Into Officiating” course to enable her to umpire matches.  Here too she is demonstrating good skills and is developing into a very good young umpire.  Emma always works hard during training sessions, she is a quiet, friendly girl who is a definite asset to our club in every way.
