Uganda Netball Ace Peace Proscovia has urged the Netball She Cranes team to cooperate as she shares with them new skills she acquired from the England Netball Super League.
The She Cranes skipper has been on a four month professional stint with England Netball Club – Loughborough Lightning and recently returned to Uganda to join the national team in preparation for the 2015 Netball World Cup.
The 6.4ft athlete promised to work the team to help them step up their skills and boost their abilities ahead of the world event to be held from 7th-16 August in Sydney, Australia.
“It’s been just a few months but It has helped me a lot. The kind of training, the game moves and the playing techniques we went throughout there could easily improve on our game if the players are willing to corporate and take these notes serious,” she told New Vision.
The She Cranes are expected to bank on Peace Proscovia’s experience during trial matches in South Africa and UK before later heading to the World Cup.
The She cranes team qualified for the Netball World Cup after defeating Swaziland 51-38 in the Netball World Cup qualifiers for Africa in Gaborone, Botswana in September last year.
The financially constrained team began with a win over Zambia before snatching another against Zimbabwe then dispatched Botswana.
