Netball Clapham – Lambeth Academy

BEGINNER

Are you a netball newbie? Want to learn the basics rather than playing competitive matches?

Our Beginner league will:

• Introduce or re-introduce you to the rules of the game
• Help you develop your netball skills
• Improve your general fitness making you more match-ready 
• Develop awareness, positioning and co-operation within your team
• Prepare you to move to a recreational netball league after 1-2 seasons

What to expect each week:

• Emphasis on learning and developing match skills and preparing players to enter a recreational league at the end of the season
• Each weekly session will consist of a 40 minute friendly match

RECREATIONAL

In our recreational league, you can expect casual fun matches with a low degree of competition.

The Recreational League is for you if:

• You’re looking to have fun and get fit, but you won’t loose sleep if you lose the game!
• You haven’t played Netball in a while
• You want the emphasis to be on ‘fun’ rather than ‘mega-competitive’
• You’re a group of friends/colleagues entering a netball team for the first time

What to expect each week:

• You’ll take part in a 40 minute, casual, moderately competitive league match

INTERMEDIATE

The temperature in the Intermediate level heats up a bit more compared to the Recreational tier.

In our Intermediate leagues:

• Participants have a solid grasp of the rules, and want to step things up a touch
• Once you’ve played a few seasons at the Recreational level this is a natural step if you’re looking for that extra challenge
• More experienced teams often can enter comfortably at this level
• Depending how long since you played, if you played at 1st team at school or 1st-2nd at university you should be ready to dive straight into an int league.

What to expect each week:

• You’ll take part in a 40 minute competitive league match against opponents with a good degree of skill
