Back to Netball is a current England Netball initiative that is happening up and down the country providing a gentle introduction into the sport and is proving to be a great success. Netball is a great way to stay fit and healthy and just one hour can burn up to 660 kcal. Whether it is about rediscovering sporting abilities you forgot you had or about getting active again, these sessions cater for all abilities.

The Back to Netball programme will provide non-competitive Netball for female players over sixteen years of age. Sessions are coach led and will cover basic skill development and court play. The emphasis of these sessions is on getting active, learning new skills and have fun playing Netball with friends.

Louise Key, Lincolnshire Netball Development Officer said "We are really pleased to be able to provide women with the opportunity to begin playing Netball again in a social, friendly setting"

Why Back to Netball?

"I adored playing Netball at school.... and never thought I would play again – age and children getting in the way. I saw the back to Netball posters and thought ‘why not?.’ It was on a Saturday – I could manage that one, surely? So I went. And it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I got to play again. I have made a whole new set of friends and it is something I do just for me... Would I do it again? Most definitely, would I recommend it to anyone else – always. Come and join us... " - Member of the Grantham B2N Scheme.

The sessions are running weekly at the Priory Ruskin Academy on Saturday Afternoons in the Indoor Sports Hall from 2pm till 3pm, beginning on the 19th February. Sessions will cost £2.50
