COMMUNITY NETBALL

 

DEVELOPMENT CENTRES: 

The Development Centres offer a programme of weekly activity each school term. The curriculum, designed by Franchise Pathway Coach Francine Hall and Netball Development Officer Jade Green and delivered by our qualified community coaches, takes participants through a progressive block of training to improve all aspects of their game. The centres (open to both girls and boys) are targeted at those not currently in regular netball activity and those that are not part of a County or Pathway performance programme.  

We are currently running two centres. One at Woodhouse Grove School on a Monday evening and the other at Wakefield Girls High School on a Wednesday evening. Both centres have the following age groups available: 

  • 6-7pm – U9’s (open to those in years 3 and 4) 
  • 7-8pm – U11’s (open to those in years 5 and 6) 
  • 8-9pm – U14’s (open to those in years 7,8 and 9) 

RHINOS NETBALL CAMPS: 

At our Leeds Rhinos Netball Camps, we ensure that every child is given the opportunity to succeed and develop in a safe and supportive environment. 

We have a number of Netball Camps taking place during February Half-Term, Easter, May Half-term and Summer 2025, catering for children aged 7-16-years-old. To see our current range of camps on sale, please CLICK HERE.

All our camps are coached by our Community Coaches and there will be opportunities to meet NIC Leeds Rhinos Netball first team players and coaches.

RESIDENTIAL CAMP 2025:

The Leeds Rhinos Residential Camp is a 4 day/3 night camp experience for athletes looking to take their netball to the next level. On Residential, players will EAT, SLEEP, and PLAY netball, with all meals and accommodation (2 athletes to 1 room) provided and each participant receiving a t-shirt and hoodie. 

They will have specific netball sessions with high quality coaches that focus on the different elements of the game ranging from the fundamentals, defence, attack and centre pass set ups. Each athlete will also have one session in the fitness studio ran by a qualified gym instructor.  

They will be given active down time doing other sports such as rounders, swimming and volleyball so they can learn skills that they can transfer into netball. In the evenings, the group socialise together, with the opportunity for board games, quizzes and movie nights. 

The 2025 residential will be at Woodhouse Grove from Monday 18th August to Thursday 21st August. To secure your place on this years residential please CLICK HERE.
