The Croydon Primary Schools inaugural High-5 Netball tournament took place at Woodcote High School on Thursday 26th March 2009. It was a very wet and windy day that saw 15 mixed teams from across the Borough taking part.
Learning how to compete is one of life's most important skills. Playing sports and games is an ideal time for children to learn these skills and at the same time being introduced to many other important concepts such as teamwork, social skills, the value of rules, and a sense of fair play.
