Overview
Mini Netball classes for kids are a fun and educational way to introduce your child to netball. Our young netballers enjoy learning new skills, taking part in mini-games, and having fun forming new friendships.
“Joining the mini-classes with her 6-year-old school friends was a great introduction to their first team sport and led to a strong school netball team and all the fun that comes along with understanding a game more than the opposition!”
Mel, Parent
When
We have weekly, hour-long classes that run during term time for children of all ages and abilities.
Our netball coaches have a wealth of experience and a shared passion for the sport ensuring your child is supported in a positive and enthusiastic environment. Mini netball classes aim to get primary school children active by developing a netball provision and encouraging more netball to be played at club level, outside of school. At these netball classes in Yorkshire, our experienced netball coaches work together to ensure every child has a fun and educational introduction to netball.
Our Mini netball classes for kids are a step towards improving the basics and game understanding in a fun and supportive environment alongside or before club netball kicks in. The aim of every class is to make sure your child has learned something new, had fun and formed new friendships.
