YOUTH
Our Junior section currently offers netball coaching to girls in school year 5 through to year 11. We currently have 120 girls training and playing competitive matches with us this year.
We enter teams at U11, 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 Player Development Programme Squads.
We strongly encourage our Juniors to participate in all aspects of netball including coaching, umpiring and volunteering.
