FIRST STEPS INTO NETBALL WITH Shan netball
for school years 2 & 3
Our First Steps programme is the perfect introduction to netball for young athletes in Years 2 and 3. Designed to nurture a love for the game, these sessions focus on building confidence, coordination, and core netball skills in a fun, supportive environment.
We believe that early exposure to sport can have a lasting positive impact—supporting physical health, emotional wellbeing, and personal development.
Training takes place indoors on Saturdays at:
Bank of England Sports Centre
Bank Lane, Roehampton, London SW15 5JQ
Year 3 – 12:00pm
Year 2 – 1:00pm
There is no formal match play or selection process at this stage; the emphasis is on learning, movement, and enjoyment.
*age group as of September 2025
What Happens Next?
Once players reach Year 4, they are invited to trial for our Shan Phoenix Junior Academy, where they can join weekly performance-focused training and begin competing in local fixtures.
Our Year 4 and 5 Shan Phoenix squads will be overseen by Coach Emma. For more information about trials or how to progress from First Steps into Shan Phoenix, please contact Emma directly.
shan swans development sessions
for school years 5-9
There are many young athletes keen to play more netball in the south west area. Sadly clubs are often oversubscribed and these athletes have no where to go to train outside of the school enviroment, Shan Netball have partnered with Swans to create Shan Swans Development Training; a weekly training session for young netball players. The sessions will be delivered by Shan Netball coaches to help support and develop athletes, maintaining a high standard of training ,whilst waiting for a space to become available in a club.
Ultimately we want to provide a high intensity, positive, vaulable training enviroment for those not yet attached to a netball club.
