Hi,
I used to live in Bergen and am friends with Fi, who had been trying to set up netball in Bergen last year. the process has come a bit futher in Stavanger and we are a group of 40 (15+ training) who have started an official netball club in stavanger and are working on getting netball recognised as an official sport in the Norwegian sports federation, as well as Norway as an associate member of the international netball federation.
If there is someone in Bergen who would be interested in trying to start netball there, then I am happy to help out with getting it off the ground! I struggled when I first tried in Bergen, but I think I have found the possible recipe to success here in Stavanger.
We started by creating a group on Facebook and then meeting every Tuesday for a drink. After a while, we had enough people interested to start up. we started in summer, so we used an outdoor basketball court at a school to start with - marking a court with chalk. We then bought in some bibs (really helpful to get newbies to understand) and balls, by collecting a measly 100kr each from those who were interested.
I have a contact in the sports department at Bergen Kommune, so might be able to help you get an indoor place faster.
Send me a messsage here if there is someone happy to take responsibility for getting it started.
Stavanger NK would also be really happy to host a group of 7-10 people who want to come down for a weekend for a social mini tournament!
Cheers
Kirsten
