Netball
Felsted offers a highly successful netball programme for all levels at Felsted. It's a core sport in the Spring term for all girls, supported by excellent facilities, including indoor and outdoor courts for play in all weathers during the season. Our girls benefit from the expert coaching of ex England and current Super League Player, Lindsay Keable, who provides invaluable support to the girls during training and tournaments.
Our girls have had much success over the years in National Competitions and have reached the Finals on a number of occasions at different age levels.
We regularly host the IAPS Regional Netball Tournament at U11, U12 and U13 age groups.
Our aim is for all girls to enjoy physical activity and team play and for them to achieve the level of skill and commitment which best suits their ability. Felsted offers a fully supportive approach for talented netballers, and for those who have taken their sport to the next level there are a number of sports scholarships available each year. We have also had a number of players who go on to play for Super League clubs.
Niamh W - 1st VII Netball Player
This season, Niamh (pictured) will be playing for Saracens Mavericks National Performance League U19 Team; a very competitive and unique opportunity to play against other top players in the country.
She trains twice a week and plays in matches up and down the country representing Mavericks. Niamh also plays for a local Regional team who competes across the East. Niamh’s journey started at a young age playing netball at Prep School. In 2020 Niamh joined Felsted and gained a Sports Scholarship at the Senior School through her hard work and natural talent for many sports.
Besides Netball, she is a keen Hockey player and a crucial member of 1st XI. Niamh’s natural netball ability has really shone in the last few years, she is now currently Vice Captain for the 1st VII alongside two Y13s. We are very proud of Niamh’s achievement and we truly believe she deserves this fantastic opportunity to play at the highest level of netball for her age group.
