  15. RCNL's 3rd training session saw 18 of you coming BACK TO NETBALL! Some new mums and lots of self-confessed 'unfit' ladies nervously took to the courts to take part in training drills - which turned out to be a lot of fun and not at all scary!! We finished off with a match, where even the most under-confident players showed off some great skills, laughed a lot and realised just how exhillarating sport can be! See you next week!!

  18. Rutland County Netball League's first BACK TO NETBALL training session was held last night (Thursday 6th October 2011) and was a huge success! New players attended and quickly re-learned the basic rules - footwork, obstruction, contact! - and took part in some fun drills, before embarking on their first game in ... well, 20 years for one member!

    Some experienced players from local teams Rutland Panthers, Blue Belles and Catmose Cougars came along to lend their support and assist the beginners in their first training session, and a great time was had by all.

    If you're interested in attending the next session, please come down next Thursday, to Catmose College Sports Centre, 7PM. Sessions cost £2 per player.

    If you would like more info, use the contact us section of the website.
