Netball

Netball has always been a very strong sport at Cranleigh Abu Dhabi with numerous current pupils representing the capital netball academy. Many of our netball players go on to compete at University level. The courts are a hive of activity every afternoon, when more than 300 girls are either training or involved in a full programme of fixtures.

We run a total of 21 teams, which includes A-C teams in most age groups. Sport For All is a crucial part of our ethos so meaningful competitive match play for all of these teams is what we strive for. The majority of the matches take place after school but will also include some weekend fixtures and host teams from overseas in order to find the best opposition for our range of abilities.
