On the 2nd Feb over 140 walking netballers took part in a walking netball festival. 18 teams took part in the day, some competing in the wiggle and giggle, non scoring rounds, others taking part in a very tightly contested in it to win it round.
The Walking Netball love was defiantly in the air throughout the day, the players were watched closely by a fantastic tea of umpires, you I know will all agree, deciding the difference between walking and running with these ladies, was a very tough call!
A huge shoutout goes to Kerry, Anna and Alice for all the planning and organising that went into such an amazing day. Another huge thank you to the umpires who came out to support, we had lot’s of positive comments around the umpiring which is always nice to hear and finally a huge thank you to all the players and supporters who came out and helped make the atmosphere as lovely as it was.
We love Walking Netball!
On the 1st February 2025, the South West regional schools round took place in Bournemouth.
We would like to say a huge thank you to all the volunteers, coaches, players and parents who made the day possible. A huge shout out goes to Les, Netball South Wests competition lead who headed up the team and ran a smooth and successful day.
The level of netball was exceptional, but the level of team spirit from all teams was even more impressive.
Well done to those teams who placed 1st and 2nd and will now head on to compete in the national rounds, Good Luck!

South West Member Amelie recently won the Active Devon Young Volunteer Award, Congratulations Amelie, such a huge and amazing achievement!
We wanted to know more about Amelie’s journey so asked her a few questions!
How long have you been playing for Tiverton Titans?
I joined Tiverton Titans in 2021 when the club was first started. I originally played for our U14 team in the Exeter junior league before I was selected for the Titans regional squad. I am now in my 3rd season playing in the regional league and currently play for Titans Meteors in Division 1 of the North Devon league. I have continued to volunteer with Tiverton Titans alongside my own playing. Tiverton Titans has given me the opportunity to develop to where I am today. I have continued to volunteer and help the younger players so they can have the same opportunities as I got. It’s one way I wanted to give back to the club.
How long have you been volunteering for Tiverton Titans?
I started volunteering not long after I joined the club, at first because I was doing my Duke of Edinburgh award but then I went on to do my Into officiating award and started umpiring at the junior league as well assisting with coaching at the club.
Whilst volunteering what is your biggest achievement to date?
Being shortlisted for a SW One award and winning the Active Devon Young Volunteer Award
What do you love about volunteering?
Helping younger players develop their skills and hopefully being a role model to other girls to continue playing sport
What do you love about netball?
I love the buzz I get when playing and being part of a team. My confidence has really grown since being involved in Netball and I’ve gained so many more skills that just on court.
What top tips would you give to other young people looking to get into volunteering?
Don’t be afraid to give new things a go and take opportunities when they’re offered.
Congratulations Amelie, you have a very bright netball future ahead of you!
