We are also one of the most sociable clubs at Barts with events every Wednesday so even if you don’t want to play you can still be involved with a social membership and make friends for life!
Our club has had an amazing year, we won Committee of the Year at Sports Awards, RAG Event of the Year for the 3rd time in a row for raising a whopping £2367 pounds for Streetdoctors and Whitechapel Mission and were named Club of the Year! We have also volunteering opportunities where our girls go into secondary schools and coach netball to the kids while promoting a healthy and active lifestyle!
Whoever you are, and whatever you want to gain from your club you will find it as a member of BL Netball!
Some of our girls will be waiting at Mile End station at 1.40pm to walk you over to the courts!
Everyone is welcome regardless of if you have played before; so come along and give it a try it! You will need to bring sports clothing, trainers, water and most importantly enthusiasm! The captains will move players in and out of different positions until we find the place that’s right for you. After the trials, we will have the final squads and the captains will contact you. After this all you need to do is pay your subs and join our Facebook page to make sure you don’t miss out on anything!
