Ripley Netball Club

Our squads

Nine squads, from our youngest players through to adults. We group on ability rather than age, so where someone starts depends on their experience and confidence, not their birthday — and players move up as they develop. Our junior squads start from Year 1.

Thunder

Our youngest squad, and where most players start — we welcome juniors from Year 1. League netball begins at around age nine, so Thunder is about learning the game, making friends and growing in confidence.

Training times

Session times and our venue are kept for members only, to protect our players. Members will find the full schedule in the members’ area. Get in touch and we’ll send you the session that fits.

Not sure which squad?

That is completely normal, and it is our job to work it out rather than yours. Tell us a little about the player and we will point you at the right session.
