CAMPS

Camps run in the holidays as an extra opportunity to take part in sport and netball.  They are an opportunity for our existing players to meet those from different age groups and for new players to meet our players and coaches.

All camps run at Steyning Grammar School Rock Road in good or bad weather– as we have indoor space as well as out.

Anyone is welcome:

• New to netball or an experienced player
• Stars member or not
• In the local area or not

If you are interested in attending one of our camp days, please contact us at starsnccamps@gmail.com

If following a camp day you are interested in joining Stars as a member please contact us at starsncaffiliations@gmail.com

Alice U8:- “When I first went to netball camp I felt shy but then some people came over to me and were really kind. Once I started playing it was so fun and my favourite bit was playing the game. Now I want to join the club”
