The scheme has been introduced to provide a netball club structure, which has the player as its primary focus. It will provide an overall view of an individual club within the big picture of the England Netball structure, and will help forge stronger links between England Netball centrally and its clubs. The scheme will aim to establish the club as the basic unit for player development. By working through the scheme it will assist your netball club in providing the best quality service for your members by creating an appropriately qualified work force of coaches, umpires and administrators. The scheme will also ensure appropriate local providers work in partnership to develop sustainable netball opportunities.
Netball clubs, youth clubs, young persons groups, colleges, universities, secondary, middle, junior and primary schools all of whom must be affiliated to England Netball. Where a school or college applies, it must be on behalf of a school club which meets regularly.
The scheme is an excellent way to enable your club to increase the number of members and improve the standard of activity in all areas including playing, coaching, umpiring or administrating. Your accreditation signified that parents/carers and players may expect a club which has specified minimum standards for the player of Netball.
