History
We are a very friendly club and welcome any female players - current age range of membership is 10 to 55.
Started in the mid 1950's, the Club was called the Epsom and Ewell Harriers Netball Club and played at Court Recreation Ground, Epsom, a few years later we moved to King George V Playing Fields in West Ewell, next to the Athletics track. In the 1970's we had several training grounds including Old Suttonians grounds at Priest Hill, Hook Youth Centre and indoor facilities at RAF Chessington and Leatherhead Leisure Centre. When we joined Oxshott Village Sports Club in 1992 we changed our name to Epsom and Oxshott Netball Club,finally becoming Oxshott Netball Club in 2002.
This year our teams are playing in the following leagues
