GETTING BACK INTO

NETBALL

Netball Now, Back to Netball and Walking Netball programmes are the biggest way that adults engage with the sport. We find that many women have fond memories of playing netball at school but may not have played since leaving. These programmes are extremely popular as they offer a fun and accessible way for people to re-engage with the sport they enjoyed so much at a young age. For example, our Back to Netball programme was introduced 10 years ago, and in 2018 it welcomed its 100,000th member. Netball is still a sport that is played in lots of schools, so this is how many children and young people engage with it for the first time. People can use the Session Finder on the England Netball website to find their nearest session, which also helps to increase participation.
