Sports
A Range of Sports
At Adcote we play a variety of sports, in both PE lessons and through activites. In the Autumn term the girls, usually Years 7, 8 and 9, play Netball and Lacrosse competitively. The Netball is part of the Shropshire Schools League and the Lacrosse is against local independent schools.
In the Summer term, Rounders is the main sport we play competitively in the Shropshire School League, however we have just recently received a small grant from the Shropshire LTA and are now in the process of increasing the profile of tennis and hopefully we will be entering tournaments and arranging fixtures.
In PE lessons girls also have the opportunity to play rugby and participate in gymnastics and athletics.
