 Primary Schools Saltley
After a few years of netball development work in the wards of Small Heath, Nechells, Washwood Heath and Hodge Hill, through the setting up of extra curricular clubs on primary schools sites, our primary schools league for the East of Birmingham continues at Saltley Community Leisure Centre.
The league is central venue and runs on a weekly basis, both on a Monday and Thursday, and is enthusiastically supported by teachers of all the participating schools.
The league will run on an annual basis and it is anticipated that as more schools take advantage of the development programme cluster leagues will be set up in the wards listed above, in order that leagues remain local for children and teachers.
The league is a result of support from local primary schools, Saltley Community Leisure Centre, local Partnership Development Managers and the School Sports Co-ordinator.
If your school would like to take part,please click on contact and send an email showing your interest.
When up and running you can have a look at how each school is doing throughout the season by clicking on our fixtures page.
