A Guide to Netball in London

By Karen Cole

Netball is becoming a sport that is more and more accessible to the millions of people in the UK, and it is becoming more prominent across the sports channels meaning more and more people are getting to watch it and understand the rules, and they are able to become fans of teams that are quite probably local to them.

Benefits of netball include:

Running – Playing netball encourages running, with short sprints around the court commonplace.  Running will provide a good cardiovascular workout for you and if completed regularly it will improve your overall fitness, strength and agility.

Hand Eye Coordination – Different throwing techniques are used in netball to pass the ball to teammates, and this encourages the improvement of hand eye coordination, which will benefit you in the game, but also in everyday life too.

Flexibility – The nature of netball means that you will be moving and turning a lot to be able to pass balls to, and receive balls from, your teammates.  Regular activity like this will improve your overall flexibility and again this will help both in sport and your life in general.

Postivity – It is proven that people who are engaged in sport have a clearer mind, and are therefore less at risk of suffering from a mental health issues.  Sport (as with any exercise) releases endorphins which create a feeling of happiness and satisfaction, and this is a big plus and a big reason why you should be getting yourself involved with netball.

If you live in London and enjoy netball as much as we do, then don’t hang around!  Get a group of mates or work colleagues together, and sign up to a league today.  It is a great relationship building tool, and will help you maintain your fitness, or build your fitness up depending on where you are presently.

To point you in the right direction on where to start please take a look at http://netbusters.org where they have arranged many social netball leagues across London for thousands of netball players to be able to enjoy a friendly game with one another, with a competitive edge attached to them.  You can sign up as a team and play with people you know, or you can sign up as an individual and become part of a team to encourage the building of new relationships

If you have any queries and / or questions about joining a league, please ask the guys at netbusters.org who will be only too happy to help and give you the advice and guidance you need.

Netball in London is taking off, make sure you are a part of it today!

Happy ‘balling!

About Me

Karen Cole

Hey, I’m Karen Cole. How are you? I hope you’re great! Thanks for stopping by my website to learn a little more about me. I have been involved in the health and fitness field in a professional capacity for about a decade. But my love for working out and helping others get better started at Indian Hills High School. I was fortunate enough to be the Captain of a great group of guys on the Varsity Ice Hockey team. I decided that if we were going to do our best we needed to train off the ice just as hard as on the ice and put together workout programs for the guys to do after school. I learned a lot about program design and started to see some muscles on myself.
