Frequently Asked Questions

• Am I too old?
• Rec is for all ages, as long as you’re willing to wear a rather attractive bib then you can play!
• Rec aims to cater for people over the age of 16 years old.

• I haven’t played since school, is it ok if I come along?
• You don’t need to be a pro-netballer to come to rec, it’s there to open the sport up to everyone who is interested in it!
• Rec is not a club and as such the format of rec is not based around training for a game, but for having fun playing a great sport.

• I don’t have a team, can I come as an individual player?
• There are no set teams at rec. Players can play in any position they want and the teams are different each week.
• As well as having fun rec aims to develop the skills of everyone who attends, both as an individual and as a member of a team.

• I’ve never played netball – can Icome?
• We warmly welcome new players to this wonderful sport! But it should be mentioned that rec does not run drills to teach the basics – the current format is simply to develop players by playing short games.
• It is hoped that eventually there may be a second night which could focus on running drills and set-plays to develop players abilities.

• Do I have to play in skirt?
• You can wear whatever you want (you do HAVE to wear clean trainers), but we suggest shorts and a t-shirt......and a good sports bra!!!

• How much does it cost?
• The session runs for an hour and costs £4, which is paid to the helper running the session each week.
