About us Netball without a doubt remains an exciting proposition for years to come.

Netball participation has increased in the last 4 years over 32% and is now the most played female team sport in the UK. Over 1 million people now watch Netball live on sky sports 4 every month and the audience comes from the top 20% of the national population in terms of education and income. Over 160,000 people now take to the court every week with the 16-25 age group now taking up 1/3rd. Netball remains the most participated non-Olympic sport and with the recent England international victories over World champions Australia the sport remains primed to increase in both stature and interest in the next 3 years.
