I know of a few people in Basel who are also interested (Caroline where are you?) so we may be able to organise a Zurich v Basel game.
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.

Re: Netball!

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???

Re: Netball!

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!

Re: Netball!

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.
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=15210893018

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

Re: Netball!

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..

Re: Netball!

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.

Re: Netball!

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??

Re: Netball!

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?

Re: Netball!

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.

Re: Netball!

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. :-)

Re: Netball!

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