RANA Rugby Area Netball Association

ABOUT US

The Rugby Area Netball Association (RANA) was formed in 1983. At that time there were only 2 netball clubs in Rugby who played in the Coventry and/or the Daventry league. The association was formed to encourage more women to take up the sport. It started with 7 teams and 1 division and now has 19 teams and 2 divisions.

Matches have always been played at a central venue, currently Rugby School, on a Sunday morning. The central venue has meant players easily getting to know players from other teams.

The association always makes new players and teams welcome and has annual 'Come and Play' mornings every September.

The association is run by a committee of volunteers and many current players have served on the committee over the years. Their contributions have been invaluable. It has always been a friendly association and many lasting friendships have been made through players in this association.
