Our junior members play matches in four ages categories: U11s, U13s, U15s and U17s. Our U17 players currently train and play within the senior section of the club. This season we have 10 teams in the Oxfordshire Junior Netball League. We have around 120 junior players registered, playing at various levels. Each session is run by qualified, experienced coaches. All coaches and assistants have been DBS checked. We actively encourage older juniors to get involved in coaching and umpiring, and some of our current U17s help out at the younger sessions. Wallingford Netball Club takes the safety and development of our junior members very seriously, as demonstrated by our Silver CAPS Award and our commitment to England Netball safeguarding.
New players are very welcome, but please contact us before attending a session, as we are limited in numbers (see below).
