Both junior and senior club members were treated to a ‘masterclass’ coaching session led by England and Great Britain Olympic gold medalist Lily Owsley and recently retired international star Ollie Willars.
Fareham players worked on a variety of skills under the watchful eye of the England pair before being allowed the opportunity to quiz both Owsley and Willars in a Q & A session.
The masterclass proved incredibly popular with around 100 payers from both senior and junior sections taking on board tips from the pair who've enjoyed exceptional careers.
Owsley, who joined a Zoom call with Fareham's girls under-14s team in the first lockdown, was part of the GB Women's team who won gold at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
