🎄✨  What an Amazing Christmas Tournament! ✨🎄

We had the best day ever on Sunday at our Christmas Tournament! A huge thank you to Becky for organising everything so brilliantly, and an even bigger thank you to everyone who helped out. You’re all ⭐ superstars ⭐.

One of the best things about this tournament is that our older juniors run the whole event! U13s & U14s stepped up as Team Managers, U15s became our official umpires 👩‍⚖️🧑‍⚖️ They warmed up their teams, sorted player rotations, cheered from the sidelines, and some even jumped onto the court when needed! Talk about leadership! 🙌

Even though the weather was a bit soggy ☔, the girls played with huge smiles, massive energy, and brilliant team spirit. And the parents? Wow! Your cheering from the sidelines made the day even better! 💙

🏅  U8/U9 Champions 🥇 Team A4 Players: Caitlin, Daisy, Lara, Amelia & Connie.  Team Captains: Ava L & Rebecca L

Amazing teamwork, amazing smiles — amazing champions! 🌟

🏆  U10/U11 Champions🥇 Team B4 Players: Chloe, Florence, Emma, Carmel, Imogen, Anaiya & Lilly. Team Captains: Annie S & Jess D

Fast, focused, and fabulous on court! ⚡

🎯 Shooting Competition Winner 🏹 Harriet R — a super-sharp shooter with incredible accuracy.

Welcome to Ashtead All Stars 2026/27 ⭐

A huge welcome to the new season — and an especially warm welcome if you’re joining Ashtead All Stars for the first time. We’re a friendly, volunteer-run community club and can’t wait to see everyone back on court in September.

Here are the important things you need to know.

📱 Stay connected

WhatsApp is our primary method of communication. Your Year Group Admin Manager will keep you updated about training, matches, cancellations, venue changes and everything else you need to know.

Please also check your email (including Junk/Spam) regularly.

Your Admin Manager is your first point of contact for questions, followed by your coach or Jane Arnett. Committee and volunteer contacts can be found on the website.

Please keep your and your child’s contact and medical details up to date on Teamo and tell your Admin Manager about any changes.

⚠️ England Netball Membership — deadline 31 August

All players must have paid their England Netball Membership fee by 31 August 2026. This provides insurance and affiliation to our governing body.

No membership = no netball in September, so please don’t leave this one until the last minute!

🏐 Training & venues

Training takes place at Downsend outdoor courts, Downsend Sports Hall and Therfield Sports Hall.

Venues are planned in advance but can occasionally change, so always check WhatsApp before training.

Collection after training: We do not formally sign players out.

Years 3 & 4 must be collected by an adult from the courts at Downsend or from inside Therfield Sports Hall. Please tell the coach beforehand if an unfamiliar adult will be collecting them.

Year 5 upwards may leave independently. Parents should agree their own collection arrangements with their child. Please remember that car parks can be extremely busy and training will soon be finishing after dark.

💅 Jewellery, nails & hair

These rules apply to both training and matches:

No jewellery — earrings cannot be taped and must be removed. Watches and Fitbits must also come off. Nails must be short and not visible when looking at the palm of the hand. Long hair must be tied back.

Players who don’t meet these requirements will not be able to train or play.

👟 What to wear

Any suitable sports clothing is fine for training — think warm and dry, particularly during the colder months.

Players must wear proper supportive sports trainers. Fashion trainers are not suitable and players wearing inappropriate footwear will not be allowed to train.

AAS kit is available, but you don’t need to buy everything. For new players, we recommend starting with an AAS hoodie, and a match top is required for league matches. Sarah, our Kit Secretary, can help with any questions.

📲 Teamo

We use Teamo for subscriptions, match fees, registrations, events and aspects of team/match management.

Each age group uses it slightly differently, so your Admin Manager will explain what you need to do.

Teamo is NOT our communication channel — WhatsApp is.

🏆 Matches & leagues

Our Adults compete in the Surrey Netball League (SNL) and Kingston & District Netball League (KDNL), generally playing fortnightly Saturday fixtures.

Our U10–U16 Juniors compete in the Surrey Junior Netball League (SJNL), with fixtures across 11 Sundays during the season at venues around Surrey.

Your Admin Manager will provide the details relevant to your team.

🛡️ Safeguarding & club policies

The safety and wellbeing of our players is paramount. Zoe Manterfield is our Club Safeguarding Officer, and our Safeguarding Policy and reporting information are available on the website.

Please also familiarise yourself with our club policies, particularly the Parents’ & Players’ Code of Conduct and Social Media Policy.

⭐ Most importantly…

AAS is a happy, friendly and open club. If something isn’t right — however big or small — please speak to your Admin Manager, coach or Jane. We would much rather know about an issue so we can help resolve it.

We’re a non-profit community club run by volunteers, so if you’d like to get involved, we’d love to hear from you.

Here’s to a brilliant 2026/27 season. See you on court! 🏐⭐

For anyone going to the Copperbox this Saturday (13th December) to watch the England v Jamaica game, you’ll be pleased to know that our very own

Evie Sherwin will be playing for Scotland U21s against England U19s in the curtain raiser for the senior match, which starts at 12pm.

If you can get there early to show your support for her, please do (match is included in the main ticket price). 

For those who haven’t got tickets and are interested, there are still some available I believe. 

We’re super proud of Evie for flying the AAS flag on the international stage!
