A new series of children’s and adults’ netball programmes is being put together in Mansfield, encouraging both newcomers and people who have played before to return to the sport.

The programmes have been put together by Nottinghamshire Netball development officer Claire Bowen and will be run at Mansfield Rugby Club in a partnership between the RFU and England/Nottinghamshire Netball.

Back To Netball will run on Tuesdays, from 10.30am to 11.30am, starting on 4th July. The series of sessions aims to introduce people back to the sport and is primarily for women, including those who have not played the sport for a long time or ever.
