We are not currently looking for new players for the 2025/26 season
Training
We train every Thursday from 7pm-9pm indoors at City Academy, Russell Town Ave, Redfield, Bristol BS5 9JH.
Training is geared towards improvement for individuals and teams. This includes fitness and aerobic work, however every individual is able to tailor this section of training to their own abilities and fitness levels, and you will never be pushed to do anything you feel uncomfortable with.
Matches
The official Avon Netball League season runs from September to May each year, and during this time we will have league matches on Saturdays.
Fees
As a new player, you will be entitled to two free training sessions, and then can pay £5 a session in order for you to assess the suitability of our club.
If you decide to join, you must affiliate with England Netball Association, which provides comprehensive Liability/Personal Accident insurance cover. This has an annual cost of £44.50 for adults.
For club membership, we ask that you pay £22 per month. This helps us to cover costs for kit, equipment, training, coaching, courts, umpiring, match fees, entry fees and courses.
Commitment
Although our prime concern is to get together and enjoy playing netball, everyone should show a certain level of commitment in order to continue the club's success. This will, in turn, enable us to enjoy it all the more!
We ask that players inform us of any training sessions or match dates you know you can't make. This helps us to plan training sessions and team selections more effectively.
We ask that you are available to play most of the appropriate fixtures, and that you inform us of any known absence (holidays etc) as soon as possible. League team members also need to attend training sessions regularly in order to prepare for upcoming matches.
Socialising
Being a rather rowdy bunch, we jump at opportunities to get out and enjoy ourselves without our netball kit on! Social events can be planned way in advance or completely spur of the moment! Either way, anyone and everyone is welcome to come along.
Equal opportunities
Panthers Netball Club is committed to providing Equal Opportunities for any current and potential members, and to ensure that equity is incorporated across all aspects of its development.
