Team togetherness
Build stronger, fitter, more confident teams on a PGL netball clubs weekend. Building on the success of our school tournaments, our netball weekends just for clubs are aimed at players with more match and tournament experience. Open to U12, U14 and U16 teams, it’s a great opportunity for your club teams to play in competition with teams from across the country who you wouldn’t normally meet
By combining intensive match play with challenging adventure activities, teams improve technique and skills on the court and enjoy exciting challenges off it. And after your action-packed day, enjoy the PGL-led evening activities, guaranteed to keep the fun going until bed time. The weekend ends on a high with presentations to the winners by a specially invited member of the England Netball Team.

Activities
The Tournament
The main focus of the weekend is a tournament designed for U12, U14 and U16 girls teams. To maintain the highest standards of play, all matches are officiated by England Netball and played on courts built to England Netball standards. Teams attending the weekend must be made up of a minimum of 6 girls. Each team benefits from intense match play and may also learn by watching other teams play and get some skills practice as well.
Adventure
A selection of 'come as you please' adventure activities arranged between matches gives your team members some different challenges from those on the court - challenges designed to help develop support, encouragement, teamwork and communication skills. The activities available will be confirmed before you travel.
The Evenings
The action is non-stop! Our evening entertainment programmes include games, quizzes and challenges which continue the theme of working together and are great fun for everyone. And to end the weekend on a high, a specially invited member of the England Netball Team presents the winners' medals and trophies.
