When thinking about school netball tour destinations, Malta may not be the first place that leaps to mind. However, the sport is popular here, so there’s plenty of good opposition. This, coupled with the fantastic year-round weather, makes a school netball tour to Malta an easy choice.
School Netball Tour to Malta
This beautiful country lies in the heart of the Mediterranean and is just 3 hours' flight from the UK. The sporting facilities here are excellent and you’ll receive a warm and friendly welcome from the locals.
When you’re not on the netball court, why not try your hand at some adventure sports? Take your pick from zip lining, abseiling, kayaking and rock climbing. We’d also recommend taking some time to relax on the beach – Malta boasts some of the most spectacular in the Med!
