Juniors 2025/26

The Downs is an ambitious club who understands that getting to the top is a long journey and starts with loving what you do first! This means developing a high level of basic skills, understanding how to get fit, as well as developing good connections with your teams mates on and off the court.

The Junior section of the Club includes Under 10’s, Under 11’s, Under 12’s, Under 13’s and U14 Squads

Our coaching team is comprised of individuals who are deeply passionate about netball. The majority hold a Level Two qualification from England Netball, while others are either currently working towards their Level One certification or are experienced schoolteachers. Many of our coaches have played, or continue to play, netball at a high level, bringing both expertise and enthusiasm to their coaching.

Training

Training is held on Sundays 10-11.30am at St John’s, Off Garlands Road, Leatherhead, KT22 7JD. First session back is on the 31st August 2025. Training runs from September to end of March with breaks for some half terms/holidays.

Fixtures for U11 and above will be on some Sundays and will replace training on those dates for players selected – dates and times will be shared once we have these confirmed.

Subs

At The Downs subs pay for facilities and coaching at training.  We offer skill development and match play in every session for every member but we cannot guarantee league matches for everyone, on every occasion.  We select teams based on your availability and willingness to want to play not just as an individual but also in combination with other players on the court and consideration of the opposition. For those not selected for matches we aim to run training sessions as a replacement (depending on coaches availability).

  1. Entry into leagues.
  2. All training from Sept to March.

  2. Running after match Teas.
  3. Team Managers.
