Summer of Sport

With the Summer of Sport in full swing, we’ve welcomed many people of all ages into our Come & Try activities so far and it’s been brilliant to see so many new faces.  There is a version of netball for everyone, from clubs and competitive leagues, recreational sessions just for fun, junior leagues, disability-friendly sessions and even walking netball!

Hot on the heels of the Commonwealth Games and Scotland’s best-ever finish in 8^thplace, the Europe Region Netball World Cup Qualifiers are being hosted in Scotland in September at the Playsport Arena, East Kilbride.  Come and cheer on the Thistles as they play their first competitive matches after the Games and look to qualify for the 2027 Netball World Cup in Sydney.  Find out more here: https://www.netballscotland.com/events/nwcq-europe/
