About Netball Kids
Netball Kids was born from the passion of parents who love netball and want to share that enthusiasm with the next generation. Our founders understood that sport could be a powerful tool for a child’s development, and they set out to create a programme that would do just that.
Our structured programme has been meticulously developed with input from nursery school nurses, child psychologists, and top-level netball coaches, ensuring that it offers a balanced approach to physical and mental development. We take pride in providing a fun, safe, and inclusive space where children can learn, grow, and thrive through the sport of netball.
