Important information about returning to the Netball Court

The last few months without any Netball has been strange and frustrating but the most important thing is that you have been safe and well. Hopefully you have had the opportunity to keep active and have fun with your family, using the many ideas that have been on social media. You’ve maybe even taken part in an online training session/quiz/chat session with your teammates!

As you will be aware, in line with government guidance, Netball Scotland suspended all Netball activity on the 13th March. The health and wellbeing of all our players is the most important factor in deciding when it is safe to return to training. To be clear, the club will only return to training once we have complied with the Scottish Government’s and Netball Scotland’s guidance on sport and outdoor exercise.

The committee have taken all the necessary steps to return to court safely. You may notice some changes when you return, and these have all been put in place to make sure you are safe and allow you to enjoy being with your team-mates and most importantly have fun. These changes include:

  • Smaller numbers at training
  • Shorter sessions (45 mins)
  • No access to changing rooms
  • Pick up and drop off guidelines

So that you can continue to enjoy your court time, we are asking all players to do the following:
