Active Schools Netball Project

In partnership with the Netball Development Officer, Active Schools intend to run a netball project over the coming terms. The purpose of this project would be to initiate and/or support the provision of netball as an extra curricular activity within our school (lunch time or after school).


The project will include offering schools:

Foundation netball workshop to staff/parent volunteers
– Term 4 07/08
Assistance and support with setting up the club
– Term 4 07/08
Programme of extra curricular games for the small schools and large schools
– Term 1 08/09
Inverurie small school and large school festival
– Term 2 08/09
National Governing Body accredited Mini Netball coaching course
– Term 2 08/09
Invitation to take part in the Garioch Mini Netball Festivals
– Terms 2 & 3 08/09
Invitation to take part in the Aberdeenshire Mini Netball Festival
– Term 4 08/09

Funding for lesson cards, 10 netball balls, 2 sets of bibs, markers and NGB coaching course may be available to schools who can establish an after school club and take part in the local games and festivals.

I would like our school to take part in this project, as it has been an area of sport that has been very popular before.

In the past I have been grateful to a number of mums who have come forward to help out. If we could find a number of you to come together once again, then this would open up the possibility of the children playing competitively/for pleasure.

I will be indicating an interest by sending an email to register the school.and distributing a paper copy of the handout reproduced below.
