I'm here 'n gunning for GA if anything comes about.
I'm half-heartedly trying to sort something out in Basel for summer (where's it gone) but can't get any leads on netball courts. I have a few netballs and one full set of strips.

I would love to play netball again - although already imagining the heart attack that might ensue at doing exercise after 18 years...... Maybe I could be a sub???

Ohhhh!!!
Are there people really playing this game in Switz?
I am a tall GK-GD, played during my **peak** for many years, reached state level then discovered the joys of Uni life and all that comes with it (no, not books, more weight lifting, you know, the drink to the mouth...repeat)

I am in Luzern but would LOVE to know when this is going down!
Winter or summer? Maybe some places are too far for me to come...do let me know!

Have never played...could a newbie tag along?

Not wanting to hijack organisers post but I 'may' be getting somewhere with setting up Netball in Basel.
Hopefully can update with some info soon.

V.v.v.v.v.v.v excited about prospect of playing netball again

Lucky you... its turning out to be dire to find a location here in Zurich

Hi All,
Just to let you know that 'Rookie Netball', a new netball club based in Basel is having its first meeting next Wednesday 28th May in Paddy Reilly bar, Heuwaage, Basel at 7.30pm (well.....start as you mean to go on).

We have 20 members (incl 1 male), 1 set of bibs, 2 netballs and potential access to a netball pitch in Basel, so far so good!

We've planned this first meeting to discuss how we can get the club off the ground as we'd like to start playing netball as soon as possible. You don't have to be good at netball or fit to join in, the main purpose of this group is to have FUN while doing some exercise so all EF members (males, females, Baselers and non-Baselers) are very welcome.

If you're interested, take a look at the link (hope it works) below for more details about the club or PM me.

Hope to see you in Paddys (Basel) on Weds, we'll be the one's in the v. short skirts

Well, I just rediscovered Vegemite, and would love to rediscover Netball! If there's ever a game in Zentralschweiz, count me in! I'm a GD, by the way..

well it has been a long while but would love to play a game of netball. I played for many years, many years ago.
So who is organising the Zurich team???? And the oranges??

I used to play netball, like all English girls. Quite enjoyed it, until the day our PE teacher set an excercise where we had to run as fast as we could, catch the ball she passed to us, and then stop dead....... resulting in knee injury (not serious but it really hurts if I run for too long). Have since foung out knee injuries are super common in netball.

Yup .. and ankle injuries too...

You should see my scars! So foar sport has done me more harm than any of my vices.

Are there any sort of teams which play in different leagues?

Is this still happening?? Have just found this thread and would definitely be up for some netball action. Played at school and a few games in London last year. My boyfriend also played on a team in London before we came here and would be up for playing too. We're in Basel - is there a Basel team yet??

Hi!
Is there now a netball team playing in or around Zurich? It seems that there are loads of people wanting to play! I've played GA/GS for years and want to keep playing in Switzerland, anyone know of a team needing an extra player?

Hi guys
I am thinking indoor netball through winter would be a winner if we could find a school or fitness centre that would let us use an indoor gym, worst case scenario we could always use tape for the lines (and circles?)....
Anyway got any ideas of locations?

Great idea Sam...I am sure we can pull together a team if we can find a venue.

location has been my problem while trying to organise this... so if anyone manages to find something great!

Hi Lynn,
I have found a location at Wipkingen, an indoor sportshall called Nordstrasse Turnhalle.
I have seen 5 a side football plus various other sports going on in there of an evening. They have basketball hoops and lines, but i think we could lower the hoops, looks like they wind down. Am just trying to work out how to get in touch with them. Will let you know. :-)

I'd be interested in netball, did you get a team set up in the end? Need any new players?
