Introduction from Ambleside Club

Welcome to our Section Spotlight, helping you get to know the sections that make up our Ambleside family. This time, we’re shining the spotlight on Ambleside Ladies Netball Club.

Below, the Netball Section Leader shares the club’s story in their own words. 


Welcome to Ambleside Ladies Netball Club!

Great Netball. Great Friendships. One Amazing Club!

Netball 2026 - 1

Our story began back in 1966 as Hartshill Sports Ladies Netball Club, before we made Ambleside our home in 2003. Nearly 60 years of netball, friendships, laughter and a little healthy competition later, we’re still going strong! Today, we’re a thriving, inclusive club with around 120 senior and junior members, seven senior teams and a fantastic junior section for girls aged 10–16. From competitive league netball to keeping fit, having fun and making lifelong friends, we’re proud to offer something for everyone.

We’ve Got Game!

Netball 2026 - 2Our seven senior teams competes across the Coventry & Warwickshire Netball League, covering divisions from Premier League to Division 8. Our A Team are seven-time Premier League champions in the last 10 years, and we’re incredibly proud to have players representing the Hinckley Hurricanes Regional Teams too!

Netball 2026 - 3But don’t worry – you don’t need a trophy cabinet to join us. Enthusiasm, team spirit and a willingness to give it a go are just as important!

Whether you’re a seasoned netball superstar, dusting off your trainers after a few years, or picking up a netball for the very first time – there’s a place for you at Ambleside Senior Netball! We love Spectators too

Our Courts, Our Home!

We’re delighted that our newly refurbished courts mean we can now play all our home matches at Ambleside!  And we’re not stopping there! We’re busy fundraising to install floodlights on our third court, allowing even more netball throughout the week and creating opportunities for the wider community to enjoy our facilities. If any business are interested in sponsorship please contact our chair Lara Watson (mob 07494913039)

More Than Just Netball!

At Ambleside, we’re just as passionate about the social side as we are about what happens on court! From fundraising events and club celebrations to plenty of laughter in the Players’ Lounge, there’s always something happening. Fancy a game of sticky bingo on a Saturday? Come and join us!

We don’t just build teams – we build friendships, confidence and a real sense of belonging.
