The Junior and Senior Swimming Galas were held last weekend. The Junior houses competed in their four mixed teams with the emphasis on participation and fun. Large numbers from both Blake and Drake took part in a really great event watched by the rest of the house and many parents.

The Senior Gala for Years 9-13 took place on Sunday as a finals day for qualifiers of the heats held earlier in the week. There was a fantastic`turn out’ of supporters from all the houses.

Emma Cook, Swimming Teacher, said “19 School records were broken in the two Galas which is testament to the hard work that goes on in the pool and especially from those who attend swim training on a regular basis”.

On Friday 1 March, the Royal Hospital School’s senior netball coaches travelled to St Philomena’s Prep School in Frinton-on-Sea to offer coaching to Years 5 and 6 including individual skills training, team tactics and some competition phase advice.

Lucy Adams and Jenny Young joined the Royal Hospital School this academic year after graduating from Loughborough University. Their role has been to help develop sport and have been heavily involved with netball this season.

Mr Don Topley, Head of Sports Development at the Royal Hospital School said, “Both Lucy and Jenny have made a significant contribution to girls’ sport at RHS, and in particular, netball. The St Philomena’s pupils thoroughly enjoy the session on Friday and were enthused and excited by this golden opportunity for development.”

St Philomena’s join six teams from other local schools for an inaugural Under 11 Girls’ ‘Festival of Netball’ at the Royal Hospital School on Friday 8th March.

The Junior Girls’ Cross Country Relay Team won a bronze medal at the prestigious Wellington Relays on Saturday 9 February.

Running on a wet and muddy 1.4 mile loop relay course, the girls not only overcame tough opposition in their own age group, but also outpaced many of the Intermediate and Senior Girls’ teams from a host of top schools from the south of England.

Master i/c of Cross Country, Martin Warren, said “The girls are delighted and they have a bright future ahead of them as a team”.

William Sumner, a pupil at the Royal Hospital School, impressed coaches last weekend at the Barclays Ball Kids Trials in Suffolk.

William was one of 3,000 children across the country hoping to secure a place at the final trials in London in April. The boys and girls battled it out demonstrating their ball skills, teamwork, concentration and coordination to impress the coaching team. As parents and siblings kept their fingers crossed from the sidelines, the children worked up a sweat as they tried to prove that they were the best Suffolk had to offer.

The coaching staff were impressed with the enthusiasm of all involved and finally drew up a list of six Suffolk children with a chance of making it through to the final squad of thirty. William, 12, was one of them and he will travel to Northwood on 13 April to take part in the National Barclays ATP Ball Boy Trials.

If he is successful, he will be one of 30 boys and girls to earn a place in the 2013 Barclays Ball Kids squad. In preparation he will take part in five days training at the Barclays Ball Kids Base Camp.

We wish William all the best and hope to see him as ball boy to the World’s top players at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals at The O2, London in November.

Two Sports Taster Days are being held at the Royal Hospital School for boys and girls in Year 6 at their current School.

Rugby at the Royal Hospital School

With acres of sports fields, committed coaching staff, and the opportunity to take part in games at least three times a week, physical fitness and competition are promoted at the Royal Hospital School. The range of sports is significant, from the traditional games to more specialist sports, and the most able of young sportsmen and women are encouraged to complete to the highest level.

The Girls’ taster day will be held on Friday 12 October and the Boys’ on Friday 16 November.

Hockey at the Royal Hospital School

These events are open to all boys and girls with a love of sport who are in Year 6 in the academic year 2012/2013. The aim of both days will be to have fun and find out a bit more about the team and individual sports at the Royal Hospital School. It will also be an opportunity for our sports staff to view and identify potential sports scholars for future entry to the school.
