Back to Netball begins in Lordshill!
Back to Netball Southampton launches a new session
thanks to success in the New Year
A new Back to Netball session in Lordshill has been set up thanks to the success of the wider Back to Netball programme in Southampton in the New Year.
The new session takes place at Oasis Academy Lordshill, Redbridge Lane site on Monday evenings at 7pm until 8pm. The sessions, running through to 11th March, are indoors and cost £3 – no booking necessary, just turn up!
Southampton Netball Development Community Coach Debbie Laycock said: “We’re delighted to work with Oasis Academy to bring these new sessions to the Lordshill area. We’ve seen lots of ladies through the doors at all our sessions after Christmas and they continue to come back for more! Lots of ladies are enjoying the social element and being active whilst having fun. It also seems to be helping with those dreaded New Year’s resolutions like losing a few pounds or improving fitness.”
Debbie Laycock, England Netball’s Netball Development Community Coach for Southampton said: “All Back to Netball sessions are taken at the participant’s own pace with a chance to meet new people in a friendly and fun environment. It’s not taken too seriously! Back to Netball has been a huge success across Southampton, with nearly 500 ladies joining sessions since the summer.

Back to Netball Festival success as Southampton celebrates 400th participant this year
The award-winning Back to Netball programme celebrated its 400th participant in Southampton recently with a special festival held at Solent University.
6 teams, all formed from Back to Netball sessions or recreational netball groups in the local area, took part, with two teams from the recent Chamberlayne Leisure Centre sessions competing for the very first time.
It was the most exciting finish to a festival out of the 5 held this year, with Gems Diamonds taking the winners medals from Southampton University-based Monte on goal difference. T birds, from Chamberlayne Leisure Centre came third, Ravens White from Eastleigh took 4th spot, 5th were Fishnets from Whitchurch Back to Netball and 6th were Goal Aloud.
Netball Development Community Coach Debbie Laycock, who organised the festival said: “It was a great way to celebrate our recent National Lottery Best Sports Programme Award, as well as our 400th participant since Back to Netball came to Southampton in March. We had around 50 ladies enjoy the festival, many who haven’t played competitively for a number of years. It’s great to be able to give the opportunity to Back to Netball participants to play matches against similar opposition in a fun and friendly environment. The most important thing of course is all the participants had fun.”
She added: “A lot of volunteers helped to make the festival a success and special thanks need to go to all the umpires involved, team organisers and our hosts Solent University. We also made £50 for the Children-in-Need appeal so special thanks to everyone who contributed.”
The popular Back to Netball sessions and festivals has paved a way for Southampton Netball Association to form a new division specifically for Back to Netball teams. The division started at the beginning of November, with seven teams currently taking part at the Outdoor Sports Centre on a Monday evening. It is hoped more teams will enter in the spring league, more information can be found at www.southamptonnetball.co.uk.
