This weekend sees the start of the 2024-25 Netball Performance League (NPL) with all the action available to stream on englandnetball.tv.
The first round begins on 23 November and all games in this round will be free to view for all via englandnetball.tv.
The NPL exposes young talent across U17 and U19 levels to a performance environment with regular, highly disciplined and intense competition.
Eleven franchises, including teams from across the Netball Super League, will see their squads take to court:
- Birmingham Panthers
- Cardiff Dragons
- Leeds Rhinos (North East)
- Leeds Rhinos (Yorkshire)
- London Mavericks
- London Pulse
- Loughborough Lightning
- Manchester Thunder
- Nottingham Forest
- Pulse Power
- Team Bath
Last season saw Manchester Thunder take the U17 North title whilst Surrey Storm were crowned U17 South winners. Meanwhile, London Pulse took victory in the U19 age division. This year’s competition sees all teams in each age division play each other in a home and away format, with one U17 champion and one U19 champion to be crowned at the end of the season.
The U17 and U19 teams have been busy preparing for the first round of fixtures and will be hoping to get their 2024-25 campaigns off to the perfect start this Saturday.
RAMPING UP 🔥 💙💛
