Juniors

Welcome to Holyrood Junior Netball Club’s web page!

Holyrood Junior Netball Club provides opportunities for young people, their parents and volunteers to become involved in netball.  Our club encourages fun, participation, sportsmanship and the social aspects of sport. The junior club is run by a group of volunteers.  

We have five competitive teams:
 
U12 : Sparks
U14 : Infernos
U16 : Fire
U16 : Flames
Div 5 : Highlanders

Training and Matches

Competitions are played on Sunday mornings at the Oriam Sports Centre, Heriot Watt University. Sunday game times will vary depending on age group/team. The training season runs for the school year; September to June except during school holidays.
 
We have strong links with the senior arm of Holyrood Netball Club and as the players develop, they have the opportunity to play for Holyrood’s Highlanders team, a junior team in the CENA Senior League Division 5. This team trains with the seniors.
