We are incredibly proud to share our Year 10 student, Molly Wittich-Jackson has been selected to join the Nottingham Forest U18 Netball.

Back in September, Molly took part in a series of trials for the Nottingham Forest Netball U18 PDP. Nottingham Forest is one of the eight clubs competing in the Netball Super League (NSL), the highest level of netball in the UK, and is affiliated with Nottingham Forest Football Club.

Originally trialling for the U15 squad, Molly impressed selectors so much that she was invited back to trial with the U18s. She has now been officially offered a place for the 2025/2026 season. At just 14 years old, Molly is one of the youngest players to be accepted into the Nottingham Forest U18 PDP programme.

Molly trains weekly in Nottingham, taking part in both strength and conditioning sessions and on-court training. Throughout the season, she will compete against U18 PDP teams from other NSL clubs, including Manchester Thunder, London Pulse and Leeds Rhinos. She is also excited to make use of her free season ticket to watch the NSL squad play at their home games.

Molly’s netball journey began at the age of 7 at Futureprint Netball Club. Since then, she has represented Northamptonshire County at U13 and U15 PDP level, as well as Derbyshire County’s U15 PDP last season. She has played at regional level for Northants Storm Netball Club since 2023 and continues to play for Futureprint whenever she can.

A passionate all-round athlete, Molly also enjoys tennis (which she has played since she was 4), has represented Blisworth Football Club since 2022, and throws herself into every sporting opportunity offered by the PE faculty.

We are all incredibly proud of Molly and can’t wait to see what she accomplishes next. Well done, Molly!
