Netball Classes for Kids

Elite Netball Academy is a leading provider of netball classes. Led by Anna Carter, a former Superleague netball coach, young athletes are given the chance to develop their netball skills and access quality netball coaching to push their game to the next level.

Netball Classes

We have a range of netball classes available. From classes that provide netball for 5-year-olds who are new to the game right through to classes that cater for young athletes aspiring to reach the highest levels of the sport.

Our netball classes happen at various locations in the UK and we cater for all levels of netball ability. For more information on where we’re currently holding netball classes, head this way.

Our Mini Netball Class provides netball for 5-year-olds and up in Leeds and Wakefield. These netball classes for kids are a fun and educational way to introduce your child to the sport. Our mini netball players enjoy learning new skills, taking part in mini-games, and having fun forming new friendships.

Players are split into age groups to maximise engagement and we welcome netball players of all abilities and experience. From complete beginners to those who want extra netball to sit alongside their child’s school and junior netball club training.

In these netball classes for kids, we work on ball-handling skills, footwork drills, movement skills, team building, netball rules and fun gameplay. When it comes to netball rules for kids, these are kept the same as the adult game. We simply break down the rules so they are easy to understand.

Your first mini netball session is free!
