PLAY NETBALL JUNIORS FAQs

Play Netball Juniors

• Do the students need to wear anything in particular?

  You only need to wear appropriate sportswear to play. We recommend trainers with good grip for netball and football, but if you are playing football on a particular surface, you must let the parents know what footwear is appropriate for that surface. We will supply the bibs, balls and other essentials for each sport.

• Do the sessions run all year round?

  Our sessions run alongside each school’s term time, and will fit around school holiday term dates. Each ‘term’ is one full school term, for example: September-December, January-March, April-July

• How long are the sessions?

  The sessions are once per week, for an hour a time, running alongside the school’s term

• How much does it cost?

  • £60 per session.
    Paid by school to Play Sports Juniors in advance of term starting.

  • £6 per child per session.
    Paid to Play Sports Juniors by parents/carers in advance of term.
• Does the school have to pay?

  No, the school can choose the option where the parents pay us directly, costing you nothing!

  We want to ensure that each school can have an option that suits them and their budget, so we have two payment plans which are available to suit the school’s need. Either:

  £60 per session.
  Paid by school to Play Sports Juniors in advance of term starting.

  £6 per child per session.
  Paid to Play Sports Juniors by parents/carers in advance of term.

• Is there a minimum number of students needed?

  We need to have a minimum number of 10 students to successfully run each session.

• Jewellery and long nails

  We adhere to each sport’s governing bodies rules regarding jewellery. Only a medical bracelet may be worn during play, and must be taped. All other jewellery, including fitness trackers and ear piercings, must be removed before the session. Nails must be kept short and smooth.

• What age can the children be?

  Children from age 5-17 can join our sessions, which are split into KS1 & KS2, and KS3 & KS4 groups.

• What happens if it rains?

  Some of our sessions are outdoors, depending on court availability at each school, and being in the UK that means the weather can affect play. We monitor the weather every day and talk to the coaches throughout the day to determine whether the sessions will go ahead if there is no indoor space available. If the school has an indoor space that can be used then we will run the sessions from there in bad weather. If not, decisions will be made to cancel no later than 12pm on the day.

  If it rains and there is no other available space to hold the session, the school/parents will be refunded. All refunds are be processed at the end of each term, or can be taken off the next invoice for the new term if they continue

  If the decision is made to go ahead with the session and the weather gets worse the coach will make the decision as to whether it is safe for play to go on. If it starts raining partway through a session, coaches will stop play if they feel it is getting dangerous.

• What if a child misses a session due to illness?

  Unfortunately, these sessions cannot be refunded unless there is exceptional circumstances. All enquiries regarding this please email: info@playsportsjuniors.co.uk

• What if a child wants to leave half way through the term?

  If a child decides to leave mid-way through the term, then unfortunately they would not be refunded the remaining sessions. Please email info@playsportsjuniors.co.uk with any questions regarding this.

• What if there's an injury?

  If a child is injured during the session, our coaches will follow all the necessary procedures and contact parents/school/emergency if needed. We will fill out an accident/injury form and keep in contact with the school for updates on the child involved.
