Camps and Masterclasses

Train. Learn. Play the Lightning Way. Take your netball to the next level with Loughborough Lightning’s camps and masterclasses - where expert coaching, athletic development and a passion for the game come together in an inspiring high-performance environment.

Designed for players of all abilities, our camps and masterclasses offer the opportunity to learn from elite Loughborough Lightning players and coaching staff, helping you develop your skills, build confidence and elevate your game. From mastering the fundamentals and refining your technique to developing strength, movement and athleticism, every session is designed to help you become a more complete player.

Alongside high-quality coaching and plenty of time on court, our camps provide a fun, positive environment where you can meet new friends, challenge yourself and experience what it’s like to train the Lightning way.

New for 2026, we’re introducing Lightning Strike, a dynamic warm-up programme designed around the movement qualities that underpin high-level netball. Players will develop their activation, balance, movement, speed, agility and jumping and landing skills, progressing from foundational mechanics to game-speed execution throughout the camps.

Whether you’re taking your first steps in netball or looking to take your performance to the next level, our camps and masterclasses offer an exciting opportunity to train, learn and play the Lightning way.

What is Lightning Strike?

Lighting Strike is a programme built around the principles of an effective, high-quality Lightning warm-up. Athletes will progress through warm-up options targeting key preparatory qualities including activation, balance and proprioception, heart-rate elevation, dynamic movement, and netball-specific jumping and landing.

With each block of Holiday Camps, athletes will move from foundational mechanics to game-speed execution, gradually developing acceleration, deceleration, change of direction and backing-up skills. This builds the speed, sharp footwork and movement confidence that underpin Lightning performance.

Our intention is that Athletes receive clear, principle-led structure for their warm-ups that are purposeful, engaging and directly transferable to match play.
