JUNIORS
For Players Year 4 to Year 11
TJ Saracens cater for Junior netballers across all three age groups in the Avon League U12, U14 & U16. For the first time in the 2021/22 season we started catering for younger players too trying their hand at netball for the first time affectionately known as the 'minis'. Our minis & U12 teams train outdoors at the Jubilee Centre on Tuesday evenings and the U14 & U16 teams outdoors at Bradley Stoke Community School. We ensure that every session is taken by a qualified coach and that all safeguarding policies are adhered to at all times.
​
Unlike the Senior divisions, a pre-season tournament is held for each age group to determine seedings for the season, therefore the number of teams can vary each year.
​
We welcome players to join training at any time throughout the year, although cannot guarantee a place in the team if joining after trials. Please use the contact form below to get in touch!
New for the 21/22 Season we introduced a 'Minis' section to the club for girls not yet old enough to play for one of our Avon league sides.
​
Aged 8-11 their sessions are based around non-stop activity and learning the basic skills in a fun environment.
​
This section of the club is coached by Petra Finkenzeller a level 2 coach who is passionate about making netball available to all and Karen Biddell who has over 10 years experience coaching at this level
