The venue has provided an “absolutely huge role” in Worthington's career, she tells Pioneers Post. “I knew Adrenaline Alley had a great community when I moved down to Corby. So it did play a role in my decision to move here.”
“I’ve watched [Worthington and Brooks] grow and develop,” says Young. “Their skills have improved on an elite scale, and just to watch that happening with all the kids around them and inspiring those young people to carry on doing what they’re doing has been incredible.”
