Juniors
Cirencester Netball Club has a vibrant and energetic Junior Squad
Our Junior Squad provides access to netball for girls between the ages of 10 to 16 years old.
We have over 80 girls in training with us this year. We enter teams at U12, U13, U14 and U16 in the Gloucestershire County Netball Junior League and tournaments.
We also provide opportunities for our talented and performance junior players to experience netball in the adult leagues at a competitive level. As well as this our junior players are regularly selected for County Academy and County Development Squads.
We strongly encourage our Juniors to participate in coaching, umpiring and volunteering.

If your daughter is in Year 6 and above from September 2020 they will be added to our waiting list. Many thanks for your interest and please do not hesitate to email us if you have any queries.)
End of 2019-2020 Season
Sadly the season was cut short due to Covid-19, results will follow.
2020-2021 Season
We have started to look forward towards September and the possible start of the new season, although this may not be in the same format as before. However, we still strongly encourage our current players to register for a place in their squads. This allows us to provide the correct number of sessions needed for the players that we have and to enter teams in to the Gloucestershire League.
Please email cirenyouthnetball@yahoo.co.uk if your daughter would like to play for Cirencester.
Coaches will be in touch regarding the new season once all details have been received.
