Netball

What is netball?
Netball is a fun, engaging team sport for both boys and girls. Players wear bibs which assign them to specific positions, and the game is played on a rectangular court with the aim to score in uniquely shaped nets at either end of the court.
Through Bee Netball, younger children can enjoy the sport in various flexible ways to suit the needs of you and the young people involved. There is also a young leader programme which you can access to support the delivery of Bee Netball via School Games.
