Tonight’s team sheet
See what’s booked. See what’s free.
The live court timetable shows you exactly what’s happening on both courts, hour by hour. Club sessions are added as soon as they’re booked, so you can see at a glance which times are available for you.
To keep everyone safe, netball and football cannot play at the same time. The booking system automatically manages this for you — if an hour is available to book, it’s genuinely available to use.

All fixturesColours of the house
Four clubs, one home ground.
Haxby’s netballers, footballers and runners all train on these courts, and use this booking platform to secure their activity time.
Haxby Netball
Senior and junior league netball, training and home matches.
Haxby Junior Football
Training and matches for the village's junior sides, all winter.
Haxby Senior Football
Adult training sessions on the floodlit courts through the dark months.
Haxby Runners

Court booking is for members of the four partner clubs. If you’d like to play here, every club’s contact details are on the clubs page.
One surface, multiple sports.
The courts have a multi-sport MatchPlay2 surface, marked for both netball and football.
Netball and football cannot be played at the same time because of safety. Stray balls from one activity could enter the playing area of the other, creating a risk for players. The booking system manages this automatically, so when you see an hour available, you know the court is genuinely available for your activity.
Netball
Senior and junior netball across two marked courts.
Football
Junior and small-sided football, including a dedicated 5-a-side layout.
Running
A dry, floodlit space for running and fitness training whenever the courts are available.
The people these courts are for.
Not stock photography of a stadium. Haxby Runners gathering at Calf Close, and Haxby Netball after a league fixture — the clubs’ own pictures, of their own people.
No card, no phone call, no fuss.
