York Thunder has been an established netball team in the West Yorkshire and Regional leagues over recent seasons. A development opportunity came along for Haxby 1st team as the current NYNAL champions to move away from our previous club to take the reins of York Thunder.

The team  players have remained the same formidable group, all with experience of playing club, county and  regional standard netball.  Gemma Gibson captain has also played in the super league and at an International standard.

As a unit the players have benefitted from playing together for more than 10 years. This team cohesion has surely been one of the contributing factors to past successes.  A continuing drive from the group has been to improve fitness as well as skills. It is for this reason we have teamed up with the expert coaching from Jo Holmes at Samson and Delilahs gym Haxby.
Here strength, speed, endurance and stamina are being developed for the up and coming season starting Sept 2011.

The inclusive and encouraging support in the gym has meant all the players are comfortable trying new things and getting fit. The team has been training in the gym on Tues and Thurs evenings so check them out.
