shwarmakarma Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 HI, I moved to Perth in January and have really found my niche by joining a netball team. I put my name down at Bouncers and the Arena (Joondalup) in case any teams were looking for new players. Within a week, I had a phone call to join a team and it was great. I was nervous as I hadn't played for over 5 years and I'm my late 40s but it was just fine. From that one call, I have now joined several teams and play almost every morning at varying venues (Bouncers, Arena, Craigie, Leederville). The centres all have creches for kids and most of the players are mums. It's really friendly and I have met so many people. Teams are really crying out for players so if you are even considering it, just do it. You'll meet people, get fit and have some fun. I knew literally nobody when I arrived and now I feel like I'm part of the fabric. Just wanted to encourage anyone who is sitting at home feeling lonely to get out there and join in. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddymacs Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Thanks for your post! I'm not there yet but had thought about possibly taking up netball although I've never even played it. I am 40 are any teams of that age with beginners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovelylynds23 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Thank you for that idea. I was looking to join a group, but didn't know where netball took place. Cheers! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's fab that hey have a crèche too! Hiya TAWS 11 - great to read your post. Definitely lots of teams around looking for players. For anyone reading who is on Facebook, you can request to join Netball Perth which is a page for teams looking for new players / fill-ins etc. Teams at Bouncers and HBF Arena always looking for new players for both the morning and evening leagues. TAWS 11, please send me a message when you get here and I'll be happy to introduce you to any teams. You're only 20 minutes away from the main North of the River netball centres (with creches). What positions do you play? Would you say you're strong, average, beginner....let me know in due course and I'll try to tee you up with a team. Good luck with the move. You will love it here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
