Netball Now is coming to Cornwall

Netball Now sessions will take place at the following locations: (Click locations for more information)
In brief, Netball Now sessions are not coached,  it is not a competition that is governed by rules/regulations and scores are not recorded. It is simply a session to turn up at, pay a small fee before playing a game of netball - simple as that! The sessions are for females aged 16+ and are taking place at 6:30-7:30pm on the outdoor courts at the above venues. Each session costs £2.00 (for affiliated members and students who present valid student ID) and £2.50 (for non-affiliated individuals).

Also, this would serve as a great opportunity for trainee umpires or qualified umpires looking for some practice. If anyone is interested in volunteering to umpire at any of these sessions please let Fern Nicholls know.

Carly Taylor Netball Festival 2014

The Carly Taylor Netball Festival 2014 took place at Newquay Tretherras School on Saturday June 28th. It was part of the huge Surf 7s festival and proved to be a very lively event with netball and rugby players enjoying the summer sun.

The Netball Festival included two events, a senior tournament followed by a highly competitive mixed netball tournament.
The competition was run by Cornwall Netball and Saints Netball Club to raise funds for Carly Taylor a talented netball player from Crantock,who was tragically paralysed in a fall three years ago.
This is the third netball festival and is one of many events which goes on throughout the country to raise funds for Carly's continuing care.  CLICK HERE to view the full report
