Thinking about getting back into Netball? Or want to try it for the first time?
If you are looking for a new, fun activity? Look no further … Back to Netball provides a gentle introduction to the sport for female players over sixteen years of age. Sessions are coach led and cover basic skill development and court play.

Our main aim is to get women active and to increase the number of women participating in Netball as well as enjoying the social aspects of being part of a team. Whether it is about rediscovering sporting abilities you forgot you had or about getting active, these sessions cater for all abilities. Don't worry, pleated skirts and gym knickers are not the required uniform - gym kit will be just fine!

We ran our first Back to Netball session last year, and they were incredibly popular with participants ranging from 16 year olds who haven't played netball for a couple of years, to more mature ladies who had not played for 20 years or more!
