Last updated: Jun 3rd, 2025

Rayburn Tours and England Netball are thrilled to announce their exciting collaboration for an unforgettable sporting experience at the Florida Netball Festival! Taking place during the October 2026 half term in the sun-soaked city of Kissimmee, Florida, this once-in-a-lifetime event offers junior netball teams from all over the UK the opportunity to learn, train, and compete.

The Florida Netball Festival is an excellent opportunity for junior players to train and play like the professionals. They’ll receive guidance and insight from elite coaches and members of the Vitality Roses and/or the Netball Super League athletes and coaches. Through high-level coaching sessions and competitive matches, players will grow their skills, increase their confidence, and create lifelong memories with their teammates.

“We’re incredibly excited to announce the Florida Netball Festival in partnership with Rayburn Tours and Experience Kissimmee! This festival offers the incredible opportunity for school and club groups to train, develop, and compete in the amazing setting of Kissimmee, Florida. This trip will not only be a brilliant way to experience the range of activities and entertainment on offer in Kissimmee, creating plenty of special memories amongst teammates, but players will also be able to develop their netball skills and confidence along the way.”

Amy Buckle, Head of Partnerships at England Netball

 

This festival comes at a time of increasing popularity. Since the Vitality Roses’ gold medal win at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, netball has been significantly growing in popularity, with over 1 million women and girls playing Netball in the UK and more than 20 million across 117 countries. Taking Netball to Florida is an important step to solidify and promote netball as a truly global sport.

Kissimmee has been carefully selected to host the Florida Netball Festival due to its fantastic sports facility, welcoming hospitality, and close proximity to world-famous attractions, such as Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort. Kissimmee provides the perfect environment for high-quality training and matches, as well as unforgettable bonding experiences for young players.
