Netball at St Lawrence College
Netball is the performance sport for girls in the Lent term, but as with all our major sports, training takes place throughout all three terms. St Lawrence College promotes a love of netball across all ability levels, ensuring that pupils are supported whether they’re just beginning or competing at a regional level.
Inclusive and Competitive
With ten teams operating across different age groups, there are plentiful opportunities for pupils to represent the school in fixtures and tournaments. Our teams regularly compete against other schools, and we welcome players at all levels—from recreational participants to aspiring county athletes.
Facilities
Our netball facilities include six high-quality outdoor courts and one indoor court, allowing for year-round training and competition. These facilities also enable us to host a variety of school tournaments and support local league play.
Expert Coaching and Development
Each of our teams benefits from an experienced and qualified coach, ensuring age-appropriate guidance and support. Fixtures take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, depending on age group and team level. Our programme is structured to encourage gradual improvement in gameplay, confidence, and fitness, while fostering a lifelong enjoyment of the sport.
Club and County Pathways
St Lawrence College maintains a strong link with Aces Netball Club, who run regular netball camps throughout the year. These camps are open to all SLC pupils and offer additional opportunities for development and exposure to high-level coaching.
Many of our pupils play in the local adult league from March to June, gaining valuable match experience outside of school fixtures. Talented players are entered for Kent county trials, where our athletes have consistently been successful in gaining representative honours.

Whether you are new to netball or striving to play at the highest level, our netball programme provides the support, challenge and opportunity to thrive. For more information or to get involved, please contact our Head of Netball – Adele Skinner at als@slcuk.com
