Rising Stars<br />
Spotlight<br />
The girls worked every Monday<br />
night from October to December<br />
last year to help children<br />
from Richmond Primary School<br />
in Hinckley improve their skills<br />
and prepare them for fixtures.<br />
As former pupils of Richmond, it<br />
was a great experience for Caitlin<br />
and Amy to go back and<br />
teach the younger pupils.<br />
The main skills the<br />
girls taught were<br />
netball and football.<br />
"I absolutely loved having the opportunity to help out the Richmond kids and<br />
feeling like one of them again!" Caitlin said. "We would go straight after<br />
school and change into our PE kits to help out. Then we’d do a warm up with<br />
the Year 5s and 6s, followed by mini matches or games to get them ready for<br />
upcoming fixtures."<br />
Because of their work at Richmond, the children won lots of their<br />
matches and gained lots of new skills from the girls' help.<br />
Caitlin and Amy should truly be proud of what they have done!
