Liv Tchine: England Roses netball star on Super League, Lionesses, Red Roses and St George’s Park
Liv Tchine’s first impression was “wow”.
Secondly, “Can I stay here forever?” Was.
The third was “one day this will be ours”.
Netball’s Kingdom is modest, but productive British goals Tchine and his teammates have recently looked at the promised land.
These are Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games Gold and Roses players aiming at the World Cup Glory in 2027.
They are the pioneers of the professional period of the sport, which are the elite of three million people who play netball in the UK at least once a year. Most players are women, but men also play.
Tchine and Co are inspired by the euros -winning lions and red roses that win the World Cup rather than being raped in the inheritance area of Netball.
Netball Super League is a new professional, but in the mid -20110s, the funds are strict similar to the Football Women’s Super League.
Players hear the awards that may be one day. Usually these awards feel a million miles away, but not always.
This year, the first Super League championship swept on the London Pulse side for a notable Tchine, “wow” moment came to the luxury place of the lions.
St George’s Park is located in the Derbyshire countryside overlooked. A simple special driving from a Hedge lined road is a portal of a world beyond the dreams of most sports people.
“Imagine that Netball has this kind of facility. Do you know how sick this will be?”
This was Tchine in Instagram video diary, reacting to the first time to visit the latest technology of the Football Association’s National Team Training Center. Gymnasium, healing rooms, green, green grass of England’s house.
Britain’s Netballs had a training block before the Autumn series against Jamaica and New Zealand.
Tchine said to BBC Sport, “If we could stay here forever, I would have moved happily.”
“So, very good. We were there for 10 days. Facilities were very surprising to be honest.
“I was like the time we were there, one day Netball certainly could be something like that.”

Tchine says Pulse “in the best position we’ve ever been.”
The league is growing. Average participation increased by about 1,500% before 42% in 2025. On the other hand, the first female Super League Football season – after the restart of the 2014 – an average crowd of 728 (in 2013 from 562).
Female football crowds of tens of thousands of people are almost common, but this did not happen overnight.
Tchine, a 24 -year -old South London, admired the Portraits of British footballers – men and women -.
“If I definitely play in 10 years, I hope we will be at the same level with lions and red roses, or he says.
“Both of them were absolutely incredible this summer – it was incredible to go there, to do their jobs and to go out with a win. It is really good to see that women’s sport has hit the levels that they have never had in the past.
“I want to go out with roses and use this moment to try our gold medal.”
