Welcome
to our web site ...
The Club was
formed as Southcott Netball Club in 1973 and changed it's name to Leighton
Buzzard Netball Club in 1990 when local recognition was required to support
fund raising activities.
Leighton
Buzzard Netball Club is a large and thriving club with a membership of 60 and Club night,
which is a lively mix of fitness training, ball and court skills, on-court play
and team training, is held in the Sports Hall, Vandyke Upper School on Wednesday evenings from 7.00 -
10 pm.
We have 5 teams
- Jets, Harriers, Comets and Jaguars playing in the Luton and Dunstable District
Netball League (see fixture list) with matches
being played at weekends. The home venue is Vandyke Upper School in Leighton Buzzard.
Vipers play at weekends in the East Region
League (see fixture list). Their home venue is Tiddenfoot Leisure Centre in Leighton Buzzard.
On Tuesday evenings,
3 teams play in the Milton Keynes
Indoor Netball League, at venues in and around Milton Keynes.
Fixture list for 2007 - 08.
We also have a flourishing Junior
Section (for girls of school years 5 to 11) who train on a Wednesday night
from 6.00 - 7.00 pm. This training is funded by Active
Sports which is a lottery funded programme aimed at getting
young people involved in sports by providing opportunities to develop
their skills.
Club
Action Planning Scheme (CAPS) - we have been recognised by England
Netball for achieving Silver CAPS Status under their Club Accreditation
Scheme. In order to achieve this award we looked closely at the
way the club operated by reviewing and adapting our policies in
the following areas:- 1 - Player development
2 - Coach development
3 - Umpire development
4 - Facilities and equipment
5 - Access to competitions
6 - Club activities
7 - Administration and structure
Some
of these tasks we have already achieved, others are work-in-progress
and part of our long term development plan.
