Overview of Programme

As one of the original sports academies, the Netball Academy has flourished over the years to become a well-established name in Netball. The team is coached by Level 2 coaches Siobhan Turner and Zoe Cotton, who both have a range of experience, including coaching clubs who compete in the highest level of netball played in the Avon region.

The College is also a proud host of the Team Bath Futures Hub. This partnership allows us to work closely with Team Bath coaches and also gives our learners the opportunity to progress to a more advanced level of netball if they satisfy the criteria.

Our facilities, high-level coaches and physiotherapists provide our learners with every opportunity to progress with their netball whilst being able to continue with their full-time studies on A-levels, BTECs or HE courses. By entering leagues run by the Association of Colleges (AOC) we are able to field players up to the age of 21, which allows our HE learners to also benefit from playing competitive sport alongside their chosen course.

The Programme

At SGS, we are proud to offer a range of top-class facilities, including a fully sprung sports hall, a strength and conditioning gym and an athletics track. By joining SGS netball, you will be signing up to an elite netball programme that encompasses up to 8 hours per week of court training, strength and conditioning and competitive gameplay, as well as match analysis. The netball teams will compete in the AOC Netball leagues and will also have the opportunity to play in AOC cup competitions as well as Regional tournaments.

We also organise guest coaching sessions from current players in the Netball Super league.
