We are affiliated with the following organisations:
England Netball is working hard to modernise the image of the game in this country and will continue to innovate to keep netball at the forefront of women’s sport. Thanks to the partnership with Sky Sports, netball is one of few women’s team sports which enjoys weekly television coverage.
Levels of participation are growing fast too. Netball has over 103,000 affiliated members, and there are at least one million women and girls playing netball during a typical week in the netball season.
Clubmark is the universally acknowledged cross sport accreditation scheme for community sports Clubs. It stands for:
- Higher standards of welfare, equity, coaching and management in community sports Clubs
- Making sure the nation’s sports Club infrastructure is safer, stronger and more successful
It shows that a Club provides the right environment which ensures the welfare of members and encourages everyone to enjoy sport and stay involved throughout their lives.
An accredited Club is recognised as a safe, rewarding and fulfilling place for participants of all ages as well as helping parents and carers know that they’re choosing the right Club for their young people.
The Club Action Planning Scheme (CAPS) aims to support clubs to deliver a quality netball development programme and operate in line with best practice.
CAPS is aligned to the Sport England Clubmark accreditation scheme which is the only National cross sports quality accreditation scheme for clubs with junior sections. It is built around a set of core criteria which ensure that accredited clubs operate to a set of consistent, accepted and adopted minimum operating standards.
