Bunch of cowboys. Absolute rip-off leagues, try to tie you in, make it impossible to leave and make threats when you won't pay.
The leagues themselves are poorly organised, there's little regard for player safety and a lack of duty of care by most umpires.
Do not waste your money. You're better off finding a nice locally-organised league.

Hi Jadie, we're sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with leaving the league. You should only need to pay for the season you're currently playing in, if your team wishes to leave that's fine, you won't be charged for the new season. If you haven't already please email info@play-netballXxx so we can resolve this problem so your team isn't re-entered into the next season.’
We don’t have a team to enter and we are not using their services any longer we gave 1 weeks notice before the league started again
We are still being told we have to pay …. Liars will have to go legal now Avoid at all costs
This is a scam! Me and my friend joined and paid the £50 fee online months ago and we’ve heard nothing and we’ve left endless voice mails and heard nothing back from Play Netball.
Following posting this review the Operations Manager of Achieve Sports has been in contact and has been really helpful and responsive. If only we’d had such a response straight away but better late than never!
I was assigned to a team, and added to their whats app group. I played for them for around six games and was added to their whats app group. I replied to every email twice a week confirming my availability/unavailability for the next match. After two family grievances in close proximity, I kept responding to the automated emails declining my attendance at two matches but did not tell the whats app group (two weeks silence on the whats app group). When I returned from sick leave I had been removed from the whats app group and stoped receiving emails from Play Netball, after I had just paid the for the season.
I tried contacting play netball directly but received no response. I do not recommend this company to anyone who values good communication skills, team work and integrity.
Worst company ever , very unprofessional and unorganised, one of the referees very bitchy , rude and lazy didn’t know how to do her job and was argumentative, poor company weather was constant bad so paid £40 to probably play 5 games in the season and didn’t even get a refund
It's fantastic Play Netball in Crawley. The atmosphere is amazing and I have made some good friends through playing netball here. The umpires are very professional.
Love playing in play Netball’s Thursday league. I have made some great friends and my love for netball has grown so much. Very well organised, umpires are great.
Play Netball Colchester got me back into a team sport after over 15 yrs gap. I joined a team of fabulous like minded ladies, all who had never met before, we gelled straightaway and are great friends. Whatever fitness level, age, ability, play netball is for all - it’s a fun way to get a bit fitter, challenge yourself, socialise and meet other inspirational women!
