THE South West Dorset League is re-launching their popular project for the women of Weymouth and Portland.

Back to Netball is back after having a break during the winter months.

The coaching scheme is welcoming new and returning players, of all ages and abilities to come and play netball on a weekly basis.

The main aim of Back to Netball is to give women a taste of the game, whether they are rediscovering their skills or learning a completely new sport.

The programme, governed by England Netball, will cover all of the basics, with each session having a different skill focus of passing, shooting or defending. In addition, the ladies will revise the rules and the positions of the game.

Back to Netball resumes on Wednesday, April 15, and runs every Wednesday from 7pm until 8pm. The sessions are led by level two coaches Juliette Frampton and Ali Holmes, each session costs £3.

Laura Gardner, project organiser and senior development officer is excited for the re-launch of the project. She said: “I am very much looking forward to running a third Back to Netball scheme in Weymouth. It is a great way for ladies to get involved in netball and to increase participation.”

Coaches Juliette and Ali added: “We are both looking forward to coaching new and returning players and we encourage everyone to come and give it a go.

“The previous schemes, which have been running for a year now, have proved to be a huge success. Many enjoyed becoming more active and recapturing their love for netball.”
