  4. *Then in answer to our questions an email was sent round to NHS Blackpool staff, asking them to rise to the 2012 challenge for the Olympics and encourage staff to become involved in sport. Jammy Dodgers

  5. *We realised this was our opportunity to set up the netball league. * We accessed the NHS Sport and Physical Activity website which provides advice and information to help NHS staff organise team sports including netball. Moody Blues

  6. The four founding members are various shapes and sizes and include a very experienced netball player / coach to someone who has not played netball since her days at school many years ago. Thundercats This may be a reason for the initial success of the initiative as it was easily apparent that all members of staff are welcome to join the netball league, no matter what their ability or fitness level is, with the main aim being to get staff fit and involved in sport as well as participating in competitive sport.

  7. Public Health have helped out by funding the start up of the league by buying balls, bibs and training cones. Sunshine Raiders

The first 4 weeks we meet for training and then • the matches started • We planned alternative training and match nights and encouraged new members to attend the training sessions. • 6 Teams have participated in the league: • -Jammy Dodgers • -Moody Blues • -Purple Pivots • -Thundercats • -Tangerine Dream • -Sunshine Raiders

  9. The first season of the league ended in December with a total of 6 teams participating.Our second started on the 19th January 2011 merging with Blackpool Council

  10. As a result of the netball being so successful we were approached by the football federation and Sue to organise a football league Purple Pivots

  11. Start with a football tournament to get people interested. We met with our local Playfootball facility who agreed to fund the tournament as they would make revenue once the league started
