Netball
At Bede’s we take pride in our netball provision across the Prep and Senior School which is led by England Netball-accredited tutor and umpire mentor and supported by a former County netball player. The provision for netball is extensive and allows pupils of all abilities to develop their own personal skills at recreation or team level. Bede’s offers a year round netball training programme at the Senior School. Netball pre-season training takes place in the Autumn term with training twice a week. At the Senior School a full fixtures programme runs during the Spring term with training three times per week, also participating in the Sussex Independent Schools Association League and the Eastbourne Netball League.
“I love to play netball. More specifically, I love to play netball at Bede’s. We can grow as individual players and as a team.” Freya, Upper Fifth
