South Lanarkshire Schools are invited to enter our festival programme. The festivals are geographically placed throughout the year and the aim of the festivals is to provide a setting that allows young people to develop their skills in a challenging but enjoyable manner.

Within the summer term we host tournaments for schools with a Senior Pupil League, running throughout the year.

Senior League details below:

We provide Teacher Development Opportunities which allows us to work alongside class teachers to help with the challenges involved in delivering the skills, knowledge and tactical awareness within a dynamic team sport.

District Netball

netball image

Every year in August/September we host trials via our schools and clubs to select our top U15 and U17 netballers. The netballers will then take part in a District programme that will allow them to compete against all other Scottish Districts. This also provides a stage for our netballers to be seen by Scottish selectors and hopefully represent Scotland at U17/U21 and Senior Level.








Recreational Netball

If you are 16+ we offer netball in a less competitive environment. It is an alternative way to keep fit. Recreational Netball is provided in East Kilbride and Biggar from September to June.
