STATEMENT FROM NE NETBALL

​In light of recent news regarding Team Northumbria's withdrawal from the Vitality Netball Superleague (VNSL), North East Netball would like to reassure it's members that the performance pathway for all junior netballers will continue within the region.

Following a productive meeting recently with the England Netball Performance Director, Sara Symington, the Regional Management Board (RMB) will take on board the management of the performance pathway within the North East region for the foreseeable future. The board is looking forward to this opportunity and is currently working with a number of partners and potential partners across the North East region to ensure a smooth transition and delivery of the pathway.

Lolla Daniel, Chair of the North East RMB, said,

'We are very disappointed to hear that Team Northumbria have withdrawn from the VNSL and the loss of performance netball from our region. However, we would like to reassure our members and the North East netball community that we are striving to bring performance netball back to our region in the very near future.

'While we establish the opportunities that are available and identify potential partners to come on board, we will continue to deliver the performance pathway for Under 21 level and below.'

The performance pathway structure and how it will operate is due to be announced shortly, and all athletes currently involved in the set up will be informed of the transition in due course.

Clubs and coaches across the region will be invited to be part of the consultation process looking at what performance netball looks like within the North East moving forward.
