Alongside this, the strategic partnership between the University and Manchester Thunder (four times Vitality Netball Superleague champions) shows the level of investment we have behind our netballers. We currently support all players, from pathway to senior delivering coaching, nutrition, physiotherapy and strength and conditioning.
