Royal Navy Netball Association (RNNA)

The Royal Navy Netball Association (RNNA) is the organisation that supports and administers the Royal Navy Netball Team and all of its activities. During the competitive part of the season, which runs between September to March, the squad meets for regular match and training weekends which prepares the girls for the ultimate competition of the season - The Inter-Services against the RAF and the Army.

There are normally 10/11 training weekends which take place at a Service establishment, primarily in Portsmouth and Plymouth. A normal training weekend will consist of a combination of core skill and fitness training together with matches on the Saturday and Sunday against civilian teams. 

We currently have two representative teams, the Open Team and a Development Team competing at regular intervals. Both teams train together under the guidance of Coach Lt Linda Harris RN.

We welcome all players who have a reasonable grounding in the game of Netball and who are keen to improve their game and aspire to represent the Royal Navy. The idea of maintaining the Development Team is to encourage those players who may not have the experience or skill to merit a place in the Open Team but who have the potential to push for a place with better coaching and training than they would normally get. 

The RNNA has had a number of successful tours to Netball playing countries and in recent years has visited Australia, Barbados, Malta, Belgium, Trinidad and Tobago, South Africa and most recently St. Lucia. 

This website will give information on fixtures, results, player profiles and any other interesting news we have to share.  If you are interested in playing netball, or just want to find out more information, please contact the Team Manager LWtr Sarah Bearcroft on [email protected]  9375 36711
