Never miss a training session or match to bad weather
With the success of campaigns such as Walking Netball and Back to Netball, not to mention the heroics of The Vitality Roses in recent years, interest in participation has unsurprisingly soared across all age groups. Training and playing matches on UK soil can however be problematic as our weather doesn’t always lend itself to hours of uninterrupted netball activity. As a sport that is traditionally played here during the autumn/winter months, the weather is a constant threat.
Indoor facilities keep courts warm and dry throughout the year so every training session or match can take play in a comfortable environment. Players are more likely to commit and from this, talent can be nurtured and grassroots netball is able to grow further.
“This will improve the standard of what is available and during our typical British winter, this facility will be packed. It will also make training more appealing and comfortable for the juniors“

DORCAN NETBALL
A new fabric structure that will result in a centre of excellence for netball talent development programmes at a regional and national level.
Bespoke
No matter how many courts you are considering, we can build a netball venue that works for you. Changing facilities, storage space and viewing platforms can also be incorporated so feel free to challenge our creativity and we will come up with a fully customised design. We can discuss your options for retractable side curtains, insulation, lighting, playing surfaces etc. even the colour of the building is down to your own aesthetic vision.
Flexible
We understand that it would be a stretch for many schools and clubs to fund a building that solely serves netball but as part of our bespoke recommendation, we can ensure that it’s usage can be adapted to accommodate other activities, not restricted to sport. As a venue that serves the broader community, this can generate additional revenue and a more positive ROI.
Designed to last
A more cost-effective alternative to bricks and mortar but no less durable. All our buildings adhere to British Standard Building Regulations for snow/wind loadings and they will stand strong for decades if you look after them. Covers are manufactured from flame-retardant, PVC-coated polyester fabric and the framework is made from either high-tensile steel, hot dip galvanised for corrosion protection or exceptionally strong and sustainable glulam wood.
Playing Surfaces & Lighting
We can supply and install LED lighting that conforms to the guidelines set by England Netball to 750 Lux.
We offer a full range of flooring options to suit all levels of netball, from community use through to international level, ensuring safety and performance as paramount. We can advise you on the properties of premium engineered timber, spring systems, linoleum, vinyl and seamless polyurethane to establish the best playing surface for your facility and your usage requirements.
