If you would like your team to feature, please get in touch. We would love to hear from a variety of teams, new and old, good and bad!

During the Covid-19 outbreak, we want to keep in touch with our teams, and get to know them even better whilst we’re off the court.

Here’s our second episode,  Hoopz & Honeyz who play with us on a Monday in Angel and have been playing with playnetball nearly as long as our first “lockdown get to know the team” Groovers.

In the underdog story come good, we see Hoopz & Honeyz in the heady B league these days celebrating their promotion singing their hearts out karaoke style whilst sipping Long Island Iced Teas. Hoopz & Honeyz have style!

How did the team get together, and how do you all know each other?

Playnetball
A version of the team started a long while ago as the Ligers but now we’re a mix of friends who know each other through school, work or uni. At the centre of us all is a set of identical twins (shout out to The Thompson’s) who seem to have a connection to us all!

How long have you been playing with Playnetball.com?

Playnetball

Without doing a proper look through old emails…2014 (we think).

Playnetball have checked back our Players Corner records and can confirm that London Ligers (now Hoopz & Honeyz) have been with us since 2010

Hoopz & Honeyz Answer

Do you have a favourite umpire, or site manager and if so, why?

Playnetball

There’s an Aussie umpire who we really love (not sure of his name – soz) but he gives super helpful team advice at half time and has been known to compliment defenders for having a “good lean” which goes a long way when they’re used to being told off for distance!

Playnetball have confirmed that the super duper umpire complimenting Hoopz & Honeyz on their “good lean” is in fact Jesse, you old charmer!

Best highlight for the team?

Playnetball

Winning our C grade season last year, getting promoted up to B grade and then staying up! We were nervous that we wouldn’t be able to do it.
