Sporting partnership with Saracens Mavericks Netball Club

A partnership to support the development of netball at Felsted and in the wider community. Both partners are mutually supportive of each other in terms of facilities and coaching provision, and are committed to providing young netballer players with a clear development pathway.

Felsted offers talented netball players the opportunity to apply for a Sports Scholarship, worth up to 20% off the fees, plus a top-up bursary on a means tested basis.

Background

Felsted were looking for netball expertise to support Felsted's provision for talented netballers. A Mavericks player had been to provide coaching and this started the discussions to formalise a school partnership.

Felsted's Head of Netball works closely with Saracens Mavericks to ensure we tap in to their expertise and provide opportunities for our children and those in the community to see professionals in action. 

Impact

We have already seen some pupils go on to play for a superleague club.

Pupil Involvement

Members of the local community can also access holiday clubs run by Mavericks Netball.

The partnership runs mainly during term time in the netball season.
