TRAININGS

Our trainings take place at the ICS International School running every Tuesday from 19:00-20:30 throughout the season. Regardless if you have played netball before or not everyone is welcome. At training you can expect a mixture of skill development as well as game time. On the last Tuesday of every month we run a match play, meaning the whole training session is dedicated to playing Netball, followed by some drinks at our local pub.

We training in an indoor hall so do make sure to bring indoor shoes to training. During August, September, May and June, weather and light permitting, we enjoy training outside where we also have a court available.

After your first session you can also ask to join our mailing list as well as Whatsapp Community to get all the latest updates.

THE SWISS NATIONAL LEAGUE – SEPT 2025 – FEB 2026

If you love Netball and want to get into the more competitive side the Swiss National League is for you. Trials will be held in September 2025 during a usual training slot where the coaching team will select player for both our teams in the Matterhorn and Mönch division. Selection for the teams will come down to your skill level, your game availability as well as training attendance.

Commitment to the League Matches are essential, therefore the schedule for the upcoming season will be shared in August 2025 in order to block your calendars. Please be aware majority of the games are hosted in the French side of Switzerland. You can expect to play a minimum of 2 quarters if you are selected for a match.

And the answer is…

It was time for Zurich netball to put their knowledge to the test! In the first social organised by Leah, we took part in the Kennedy’s Pub Quiz Night. From Brit and Mon’s Aussie knowledge to Abby’s insights to Gibraltan Monkey you can safely say we out performed our expectations. Although we did not snatch the winning prize we did win a round of shots for the table with Emily’s excellent guessing skills in a game of heads and tails. Thank you Leah for organising and we look forward to more Pub Quizs in the future. Don’t forget our next social on 16th December, where we will be hitting up the Christmas Market in Zurich. If you’re interested in partaking please get in contact we’d love to have you join in on the fun!

There were no league games this month, but the next league match was just around the corner. On the 3rd of December Zurich sent a team to Geneva, where they took on AGNA (Aubonne Girls Netball Association). More to come on this event in our December post, Hopp Zürich!! Spoilers available on our Instagram.
