East Midlands Netball

East Midlands Netball is the England Netball regional association for Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire. It is led by a volunteer Regional Management Board, supported by England Netball regional staff and Netball Development Officers, and works with its county netball associations to develop competition, talent, workforce, participation and club activity. The region runs senior regional league competition in three divisions from September to March, with a qualifying tournament as the entry route, alongside regional junior, schools and other competition programmes. It supports clubs, coaches, umpires, volunteers and players through training, mentoring, bursaries, governance resources, safeguarding, equality and belonging activity. Its participation offer spans Bee Netball, school activity, community sessions and pathways for developing players. East Midlands Netball is a regional delivery and governance layer within England Netball, not a separate national governing body.
