Ladies Netball

A social netball league for beginners and returners to the sport takes place at Newbridge School in Platt Bridge every Sunday evening.

Games run between 5-7pm indoors each week, with each match lasting half an hour. The league is open to women aged 18 and over, and no experience is needed – it’s designed to be fun and friendly, so it’s ideal if you haven’t picked up a netball since school. You’ll receive a schedule of game times in advance so you’ll always know when you’re playing.

The cost is £6 per week.

This is an ongoing league, so new players can join at any time, but you do need to sign up in advance so the organisers can sort out the teams – you can sign up online here, or email info@youplaynetball.co.uk.

If you’d rather be on the sidelines, YouPlayNetball is also looking for umpires to join them on Sunday evenings. No qualifications are needed, just a good knowledge of the game. It’s a paid role earning from £15 per hour, and equipment and clothing are provided. You can find out more and sign up at youplaynetball.co.uk/become-an-umpire.
