We are a team of qualified coaches and volunteers who have ourselves played Netball for many years in our personal lives. Our sessions are packed with fun drills, teaching the rules of the game, whilst instilling friendly social interaction between the players. We create an environment that is welcoming, with one on one coaching where needed, adapting to different player abilities. From time to time we also also organise friendly competitions. Our players range from 5yrs to 16yrs of age. However we also coach adults as well, organising friendly matches with other clubs.

The sessions here are very much for development stages, learning mostly basics, rules of the game. Each 1hr session normally consists of a warm up routine, followed by 2 or 3
10-minute drills, focusing on passing, dribbling, team work, agility, shooting and ball control. Finished with a 15-20 minute game. Various types of training equipment are used to help players develop. This is also the group that delivers 'Duke of Edinburgh' volunteering qualifications. Jamie currently leads our sessions but also coaches at Grassroots League level. Both Kish and Piush have a sporting background including a keen interest in cricket. Its in there sessions where player friendships truly blossom amongst the children.

All three of our coaches have an extensive sporting background, having themselves played in Grassroots Level in heir younger years to now playing in local adult league teams. The 2+ sessions normally last 30 minutes, where players (toddlers) are given one on one coaching, learning basics and familiarity with the football, simple kicking, rolling, throwing and dribbling. Teaching them ball awareness, power kicks, running with balance, and aim.
