Netball

Netball is one of the oldest women’s sports in Sri Lanka and has been part of Bishop’s College since the early decades of the 20th century, making it a core part of the school’s sporting tradition and legacy.

Performed in the form of a team sport, Netball inevitably encourages teamwork, responsibility and highlights the importance of discipline within a team. 

The sport is open to students from Grade 6 and upwards, consisting of nearly 50 students, training for the age groups of U13, U15, U17 & U19.

Each year, the team participates in the Zonal Netball tournament and other major inter-school competitions, such as Western province Tournament, Milo Netball Tournament and the All Island Eva tournament.

Netball at Bishop’s College is more than just a sport, it’s a sisterhood built on trust and teamwork. New students with a passion for sports are warmly encouraged to join and experience the excitement, and pride that come with wearing the Bishop’s College Netball kit.
