ABOUT THE CLUB
Wilmslow Lightning was established in September 2007 by Rosie Harris and Martina Perera and in April 2008 the Club was officially opened by ex England Roses Coach, Tracey Neville.
It was with great sadness that we lost Martina to cancer in October 2009, and we are very proud that her legacy lives on in our Club. The Martina Perera Trophy is awarded every year to a player who demonstrates not only a passion for netball but a passion to help others be the best they can be, a willingness to help out and someone who is always thoughtful and hard-working.
We are a friendly yet competitive club, and we've gone from strength to strength over the years. We now have a regular number of girls selected to attend the Cheshire Academy, Cheshire pods, Manchester Thunder and Leeds Rhinos. We compete regularly in leagues across Cheshire and Greater Manchester with teams ranging from U6/7 through to our Senior squads. As a club we also enjoy annual trips attending PGL netball weekends and Disneyland Paris tournaments.
All of our coaches are fully qualified and have been DBS checked through England Netball and we have a dedicated group of volunteers that make up our Club Committee. If you are interested in volunteering in any capacity, whether it be on the committee or assisting at training or matches, please get in touch. Any offers of help are ALWAYS greatly appreciated.
