4 CLUB HISTORY was formed in 1967 and is currently the highest performance based netball club in Bucks. Clan has achieved Silver CAPS accreditation and is working towards Gold CAPS. This is an England Netball Scheme which has shown a commitment to development and good, safe practice. Clan Netball is a Bucks club with over 100 players registered. We cater for all levels of competition, both participation and performance. In we hope to run an U13, U14, U16, U19 & Division 3 Regional Teams and a Prem 2 Senior team. Five Kingsmead Outdoor League Teams (Summer & Winter) for Seniors, an U14 and 2 x U12 teams and one senior squad at Aylesbury Indoor League in the Prem Division. We are also joining forces with Fusion who are in Division 1 of Middlesex Poly League.

Netball South league Regional Clan squads each play seven other teams across the South of England. Premier league division 2 Clan performance team are in the top 20 teams within the country, playing nationwide from Jersey to Middlesborough.

5 7 current / former members have played &/or coached in the England Squads and we have worked with a number of players who have represented Superleague, NTL & NPFL franchises. The club is run by volunteers and the success we have had to date has been down to the work which is undertaken from players, coaches & parents. Members of all teams are asked to take an active interest in the organisation and smooth running of the club and teams, including umpiring (at Kingsmead local league), scoring, stewarding, event organisation, match teas and team manager positions. As well as transporting your daughter to and from games. Netball attracts a huge amount of interest, not only in the local area but countrywide. Predominantly played by women, netball is played by more than 20 million people in more than 80 countries.

Our twitter account has 477 followers and we currently have 129 likes on Facebook and regularly reach 500+ people through our posts, with one of our recent posts reaching 1,136 views.
