Play Netball Reviews 

I love play netball I have only had 1 game but they r friendly and very welcoming role on the rest of the season

Playnetball are easy to communicate with if you have any queries and have good response times, the website where you look at the table and your fixtures etc could be a bit easier to use however in terms of netball the league I play in is well run and is a fun league to play in with good umpires and to my experience personally mostly friendly people to play games with too :)

Great fun and everyone is so friendly.

Play Netball has been a great way for me to get back into team sport (which I love!!) They have recently updated their systems to enable teams to manage online. Although I think this could do with some tweaking (hence why I have only given 4 stars, and not 5) I think this is a great way forward for the teams and leagues to manage themselves.

Been playing since the league started in Newbury over 4 years ago. I love my Wednesday evening netball!

We have all enjoyed getting back to netball. Great teams and great umpires. Friendly games and a great way to keep fit

Really really bad!!

The first couple of weeks were okay, everyone was welcoming and friendly it after that initial few weeks the people who organise it got a bit nasty! Not welcoming, let alone the umpiring!!!
Again first couple of weeks were okay then it got very unfair and biased! Umpires are pretty useless, don’t call the right thing, don’t follow the ball on court so wouldn’t enable to call correctly even if they wanted to!
They are lazy and unfair!!!
I think they need a bit of work and maybe a check with the rule book!!

Considering this is such a expensive way to play netball ( ridiculous amount) I would have liked to think that you could spent a bit Of money on training or better umpires!

All in all pretty rubbish, there are many other friendlier, cheaper and better leagues to play in!
This is the Peterborough league

Our team were treated badly, not being move up a league in favour for a new team. They seem to be encouraging poor sportsmanship from the teams. They allow teams to completely replace their team with a team from the higher leagues, a basically cheat their way to a win. I was hoping for a fun league that I could play each week and just enjoy it but it became a struggle and was no longer fun. The umpires were mostly ok but there were some that were just unfair and rude. The cost is not worth it at all

Idea - fantastic, works well
Umpiring - average standard
Cost - way too expensive for a 32 min (4 x 8 min quarters) game!!!! For 2.5 hours worth of court hire (4 Games) £40 per team = £320!!

Poor umpiring - they don’t care about our health and safety in the slightest. Only there to take our money and spend it on hoodies for themselves. They don’t put it towards training and improving their skills which are incredibly sub-par.

Only reason I stick around is for my team !

I love playing in the league and play netball have a great organiser in Tamsin. Thanks louise

Really easy to find a netball league to play in. Really responsive to questions and I now wouldn't look back. I joined in with some taster sessions in August and have now joined a netball team. Having got back into Netball after not playing since school, I wish I had joined sooner.

When I started with Play Netball, the atmosphere was welcoming, supportive and very relaxed. The games are now much more competitive, and umpires can be very strict (and often quite rude!) towards players. This is fine if there is expectation that players know the rules and are confident players - this isn't always the case, though. I do feel that this cannot be advertised as 'social' netball any longer. It is not as friendly as it once was, and it is very expensive. I do not feel we get value for money. I continue to play because I love the sport, exercise and my team mates. However, I will be seeking out a more supportive environment with training opportunities. I often question the health and safety measures in place. Last week we played in extremely heavy rain, the courts were dangerous. We were told play would only be suspended if someone hurt themselves! Surely then it is too late? We have had a number of injuries on courts in the past and there have not yet been any measures put in place to rectify things.

I enjoyed the game, being a newbie myself. Everyone seemed really nice and friendly.

l have been playing netball for 45 years, even more if you count School and Youth Club but have decided at the age of 67 that league netball is not for me anymore, although l am still affiliated with my club as a sub. Play netball is perfect for me, it's more relaxed whilst still having that little bit of competitiveness. It's very good for those coming back to netball also for players like me who are not quite as fast around the court as they used to be!! l've made new friends and re-connected with old ones. Fun, enjoyable but don't take yourself to seriously.

Play-netball is too expensive at £5 for 32 minutes on court time.
Local leagues play 48 minutes on court at £2.50 per game.
Its great that so many ladies are getting back to netball but if your aim to encourage ladies to get fit, make friends and enjoy the sport you need to acknowledge that you are excluding a significant proportion of our local population.

Good, well organised fun. Weather updates can be a bit late but other than that, I always enjoy playing with this group

Lovely to play again after all these years but the umpiring needs to be improved. There is a lot of unfair and rough play that should be addressed.

Love it, a chance to not only play this great sport again but also to meet new people, get fit and have fun!

Great league with friendly teams and umpires. Would definitely recommend to new players.
