Whether you're new to netball or already a regular player, there are so many reasons to keep up the habit. Regularly playing netball is more than just a workout - it's a full-body experience that boosts your mental health, builds your social circle, and gives your weekly routine a positive structure.

Here are our top 5 reasons to play netball weekly, especially if you're looking to join a netball league in London:

1. Improve your fitness - Netball is fast-paced and dynamic, making it a brilliant cardiovascular workout. You'll build stamina, improve coordination, and strengthen your core muscles. Forget the treadmill - netball gives you a reason to sweat and smile.
2. Make new friends - One of the best things about joining a London netball league is the community. At Playnetball, we see friendships formed every week on and off the court. Whether you’re signing up solo or with a friend, you’ll quickly find your team becomes part of your weekly social life.
3. Boost your mood - Exercise is a proven mood-booster, and playing netball adds that extra feel-good factor with teamwork and a bit of friendly competition. Many of our players say it’s their highlight of the week - a fun escape from work stress or the usual routine.
4. Develop your skills - Haven’t played in years? No worries. Playnetball leagues in London welcome all ability levels.
