Year 11 student Ellen was selected for the Great Britain Under-18 Girls Water Polo Squad last September and has since been attending monthly weekend training camps.
More recently, she travelled with the squad to Greece for a training camp, gaining valuable experience at a high level. During the week, Ellen took part in intensive training sessions and competitive practice matches, helping her to further develop her skills.
The squad also had the opportunity to watch a top-level Greek League match between NC Vouliagmeni and Ethnikos Piraeus, before meeting the players afterwards. In addition, they spent time with world and European champion and Olympic bronze medallist Kitty Lynn Joustra, as well as GB Water Polo player Lily Turner, who shared their experiences and journeys in the sport.
A fantastic achievement – well done, Ellen!
