About Us
About Us
Lanivet Pandas Netball Club was founded in 2018 and has grown into a thriving women’s netball community in the heart of Lanivet. While we proudly compete in the Cornwall league with two teams, our club is built on a strong foundation of friendship, fun, and inclusivity.
We welcome women aged 16 and over, whether you’re an experienced player or completely new to the sport. Many of our members joined without having played for years (or ever!), and our sessions are designed to help everyone feel comfortable, supported, and involved.
Every Monday evening, we run relaxed sessions including our Steady Session and Pay & Play, offering a friendly environment to enjoy
netball at your own pace. We also host a Tuesday afternoon walking netball session, perfect for those looking for a gentler way to stay active and social.
Beyond the court, Lanivet Pandas is a true community club. From fun tournaments and social events to club celebrations and nights out, there’s always something bringing our members together.
Whether you’re looking for fitness, friendship, or a way back into netball, there’s a place for you at Lanivet Pandas Netball Club.

MEMBER TESTIMONIAL
I love playing netball with the Pandas. I was really missing fitness while I was away at uni and discovering the casual pay and play session was great!
Everyone was so kind and welcoming and it led to me joining one of the competitive teams too!
MEMBER TESTIMONIAL
I always look forward to the weekly sessions. It’s the perfect way to switch off, have a laugh, and enjoy a run around.
I’ve made some great friends here as well. We always have fun, on and off the court.
MEMBER TESTIMONIAL
I hadn’t played netball in years and was a bit nervous about coming along, but everyone was so welcoming from the start. The sessions are relaxed, fun, and a great way to get back into the game at your own pace.
