The new team are hoping to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors and win the National Championships, we hope the new kit will help them look and feel the part.

Tywyn school netball team are a great example of what hard work and determination can do and one of the great sports initiatives new directions education enjoys rewarding.

The all-girls team have worked hard to get back into the championships this year after the last team moved-on-up to secondary school. Comprising of girls from years 3-6, the team are always looking for new players and really encourage their fellow students to try out.

Thank you for presenting the lovely Netball Kit to the school. We are very grateful to New Directions for supplying the kit and could you please pass on our thanks to everyone concerned.  The children were thrilled to see the new kit and we hope it will spur them on to try their hardest to follow last year’s team in becoming Welsh Champions.  We are very proud of our sporting achievements over the years and your help is much appreciated.
