Wrexham Netball Club

Welcome to Wrexham Netball

We are a community netball club based in Wrexham, serving players across North Wales. Whether you are picking up a netball for the first time or returning after years away from the sport, you will find a warm welcome here. Our club runs weekly training sessions and enters teams into local leagues throughout the season.

Netball is a fantastic way to stay active, make new friends, and be part of a supportive team environment. We pride ourselves on being inclusive and relaxed while still encouraging everyone to develop their skills and enjoy competitive play. Our members range from complete beginners to experienced players, and our coaches work with everyone at their own pace.

Training Sessions and Facilities

We train every Tuesday and Thursday evening at Plas Madoc Leisure Centre, with sessions running from 7pm to 8:30pm. Our Tuesday sessions focus on skills development and drills, while Thursday evenings are often dedicated to match practice and tactics. During the summer months we also hold occasional outdoor sessions at Bellevue Park when the weather allows.

The leisure centre provides excellent indoor courts with proper netball markings and equipment. We have access to changing facilities and there is free parking on site. New members are welcome to attend their first two sessions for free before committing to membership, so you can see if the club is right for you.

Our Teams and League Play

We currently run three teams that compete in the North Wales Netball League. Our A team plays in Division Two, while our B and C teams provide opportunities for less experienced players to enjoy competitive matches in a friendly atmosphere. Fixtures typically take place on Saturday afternoons between September and March.

Match day is always enjoyable, with plenty of support from teammates and families. We arrange transport sharing when travelling to away games in Chester, Mold, and surrounding areas. If you are not ready for league play yet, our internal practice matches give everyone a chance to experience game situations without the pressure.

Membership and Costs

Annual membership costs £85 for adults and £45 for juniors under eighteen. This covers your club registration, insurance through Wales Netball, and access to all training sessions throughout the year. We also ask for a small match fee of £3 per game to help cover court hire and umpire expenses.

We understand that cost can be a barrier, so we offer a monthly payment option of £8 for adults if that works better for your budget. Junior memberships can also be split across the season. Equipment is provided by the club, though many members choose to purchase their own trainers with good ankle support.

• Full year training access

Coaching and Development

Our coaching team includes three qualified Level 2 coaches who bring different styles and expertise to our sessions. We focus on building fundamental skills like passing accuracy, footwork, and spatial awareness, alongside tactical understanding and teamwork. Coaches are always happy to give individual feedback and help you work on specific aspects of your game.

For those interested in coaching or umpiring, we actively support members who want to gain qualifications. Wales Netball runs regular courses in the region, and the club will contribute towards course fees for committed members who want to give back to the sport.

Social Side and Community

While netball is at the heart of what we do, the friendships and community spirit are what keep people coming back. We organise social events throughout the year including quiz nights, summer barbecues, and our popular Christmas meal. Many members socialise outside of netball too, and lasting friendships have formed over the years.

We also take part in charity events and local sports festivals when opportunities arise. Last year we raised over £400 for a local food bank through a sponsored tournament. Being part of Wrexham Netball means being part of something bigger than just the sport itself.

Getting Started

If you would like to join us, simply get in touch by email or phone. We will answer any questions you have and let you know about upcoming sessions. There is no need to register in advance for your first visit – just turn up in comfortable sports clothing and trainers, and we will take care of the rest.

We welcome anyone aged fourteen and over, and no previous netball experience is required. Our members come from Wrexham and surrounding villages including Coedpoeth, Rhostyllen, and Johnstown, and we are always pleased to see new faces at training. Come along and see what community netball is all about.
