Play Netball Opiniões 334

Played netball with Maidstone Thursday league for a season. My team was newly formed, fabulous women and none of us have played for a long while. We all joined because we were under the impression this was a fun, social place to have fun and meet other women whilst developing new skills and playing good netball. We were put into a league of well established teams that had played together for years and were immediately out of our depth. The umpires are a mother daughter duo of the rudest, most unfriendly women we have ever had the misfortune of meeting. They spoke to us like children, mocked us, picked on members of our team, had the foulest attitudes and were just seriously unpleasant to be around. We have found wonderful friends together as a team, but this is advertised as a friendly, social sport. It absolutely is not. We have signed onto a different organisation now as we have been so disheartened and disappointed by Play Netball in Maidstone.

We are not the first team to leave, as we have heard from other teams members how much they dislike the umpires and find them so rude and unfriendly. They treat this like they are the queens of England Netball, when we are just playing in a park in Ditton. Embarrassing. Very happy to leave!

Was trying to get back into netball and was assigned a team to play with in Brighton. Such a horrible atmosphere! I expressed that I hadn’t played for years yet was thrown into a match as they didn’t have enough players. Half the team didn’t even introduce themselves to me. As I obviously wasn’t great as I hadn’t played for so long, I then felt alienated by the time, with one member glaring at me every time I lost the ball. It’s meant to be a bit of fun, yet this had real mean girl energy. I will not be returning and my interest in playing a sport I once loved has dwindled.

Brilliant league and women! Love being part of this.

I absolutely love this league and my team. It’s the one night each week where I can switch off, step onto the court, and just enjoy playing. The umpires are fantastic. Fun, always encouraging, supportive, and very knowledgeable. Thank you for creating such a great experience, ladies!

Good league. Great umpires & well organised

Brighton Play netball has been brilliant. Fair, professional and friendly with some great support

Tunbridge wells, Great league to play in very professional and refs are amazing they have taught me so much and are always happy to explain and give pointers. Highly recommend.

Play netball is so much fun!! I joined in October (having not played since school many years ago!), i have played in all weather's and still had the best time! The umpires and the ladies that play are great and just want to have a good time :)

Great, fun way to get back into netball. It is well organised. Just wish we had more players and longer games 😄 also, a training session aswel as games would be beneficial.

The play Netball Eastbourne league is disorganised and badly managed. There are no qualified umpires and games are regularly cancelled at short notice due to umpire availability and lack of organisation. Play Netball appear to be a profit centred organisation who prioritise making money above all else. The management are not local and haven’t even bothered to turn up to investigate complaints. Many players registered to join the league at its inception yet they still can’t provide the full amount of teams. Locals have lost faith in this set up which pales into comparison with other leagues such as Bloom and ENL

I started at 33 and haven't stopped, best thing I ever did for myself as an adult.

I have played in the Wycombe league for a few years. It’s great to be able to play netball and be in a team again. Realised how much I missed being part of a team, win or lose. Just getting some exercise and meeting up with your teammates is brilliant.

Really fun, friendly and encouraging atmosphere! Very supportive of my (lack of) playing ability due to joint disease! Just what I needed! Couldn’t feel more welcome.

There are so many leagues to pick from now...I would avoid this one at all costs.

I have played in a Play Netball league for over 2 years now. It’s been great, really friendly group of girls! Lovely umpires and lots of fun to be had!

Really glad that I signed up to join play netball; I’ve got the best team mates where we don’t take ourselves to seriously, have fun and have gotten better too! We socialise outside of netball too. Play netball are good at communicating and it’s been really easy.

Come back to netball after a 20 year break and have really enjoyed playing in the league. Everyone has been really friendly and the umpires have always been happy ro explain decisions when I have forgotten the rules!

Everybody is friendly, helpful and supportive! I look forward to playing every week!

Play Netball Nottingham have friendly teams, regular games and are well priced for what you get.

My team and I hadn't played netball for years when we started 2 years ago and everyone was really accommodating and helped us remember the rules and explained the rules where we weren't sure.

There are 2 divisions so you can play for a higher standard, more competitive league or you can play down in a league that is more sociable and better for all abilities.

Some of the umpires could do with a bit of extra training but on the whole this is a great league and I would really recommend it!

I attended Wednesdays league. What a horrible set up. I was bullied most weeks by members, also infornt of the umpires they do nothing. They like certain teams. What I was really was shocked at, A head teacher and a head of PE were one of the worst bullies ever. I would not recommend this play netball it just the pits. Lots of league player's so the ability is so unfair in games. I have seen fights arguments the lot.
