Our Tailored Approach

Bespoke, age appropriate equipment and tailored session content

Mighty Netball runs sessions for children from the age of 5 in Year 1, up to age 11 in Year 6. One of the most special things about Mighty Netball is our bespoke, age appropriate equipment. We have invested in creating size 3 netballs as well as our own size 4 netballs to bring joy and inspire our netballers. We have also created netball posts that cater for all of our primary age netballers. They can learn technique and have the power to score goals from as young as 4! Our posts grow with our netballers all the way up to full height.

The age groups on offer vary slightly at each venue, please see our timetable for all the information regarding age groups and timings. Here we explain what happens at each stage of Mighty Netball!

Reception

This is the time to sign your future Mighty Netballer up to the wait list ready for Year 1. Our places are in high demand so the sooner you join the wait list, the more likely you are to secure your place! At your chosen venue, choose the class that say, “Reception Wait list for Year 1 September 2026.” You can join the list if your child is not yet in Reception but they won’t be able to start until they are in Year 1 at school – but we love to see the enthusiasm you have for signing them up early!

Years 1 & 2

No netball knowledge is expected and the aim of every session is to have fun. Children generally participate without any parent involvement but if your netballer is having a wobble, please don’t hesitate to get involved if that’s what they need. We want to support the development of their long term love for sport. The technical content is well crafted ensuring the FUNdamentals of movement are in every session. Through imaginative games, skills are developed including agility, balance and coordination. Traditional netball equipment is avoided as we know how off putting 10ft posts can be. Our bespoke miniaturised equipment is used and matches are adapted to tailor for the age and number of participants. Mighty Netballers play with small netballs promoting hand eye coordination and becoming familiar with the netball. Sessions stimulate imagination and aid early development skills. Mighty Netballers grow in confidence, develop skill, enhance ability and have fun.

Years 3 & 4

Our Mighty Netballers are now confident to work without parental support, although they still love being cheered on from the sidelines. The technical content blends imagination and fun with netball specific skills. They continue to improve their skills in footwork, movement, agility, balance, coordination, attacking, defending, shooting and match play.

Years 5 & 6

Following from year 4, these sessions build on the FUNdamentals of movement to more complex actions. Using these movement skills that have been learnt; netballers will continue their netball specific development. This will include techniques for shooting, attacking, defending and off the ball positioning. All of this learning will be brought together and used successfully in netball matches within the sessions. Teamwork and the importance of hard work become paramount, whilst participant enjoyment remains the primary objective. Through the guidance from our experienced coaches, children learn the fundamentals of netball. They develop a love of the sport and an appreciation of what they can physically and mentally achieve. The foundation is laid to progress to School netball teams, Club netball membership or to go on to other wonderful sporting achievements.
