Netball
Walsall & District Netball League
Netball has been played in league form in Walsall for over 45 years. Originally starting as a Youth League, played within various schools in the borough, the Walsall and District Netball League now operates in a nearby Wednesbury school, mainly because developing to a central venue, like most leagues have done, requires the use of six courts. Walsall does not have a site with six courts and where it does have five courts, these are in need of refurbishment.
The Walsall & District Netball League has brought Walsall onto the netball
map and teams from all over the West Midlands, come to take part. The wide
range of women and young ladies that take part in the sport rates it as
the No.1 sport for women. It is a fast and skilful game that has kept many
women fit and women that are over 40 can prove that their athleticism and
skills have not expired.
The League operates just on the Walsall/Wednesbury border at Manor High (Foundation) School, Friar Park Road , Wednesbury, offering competition on a Saturday and a Monday for a wide range of netballers. Handicap Knockout matches are held on some Tuesdays to give teams in lower divisions a chance of competition. Saturday section has four divisions of eight plus a Junior (U14) Section and the Midweek has six divisions of seven teams.
