Netball Super League | One month to go until School Games!

There’s just one month to go until netball features at the national School Games Finals for the first time!

Ahead of a particularly exciting 18 months for the sport, with the Netball World Cup on home soil in the summer of 2019, netball is one of five new events.

Competition Format

The three-day competition will see 12 teams – all U15 squads – go head-to-head to be crowned inaugural champions.

Loughborough Lightning	London Pulse
Manchester Thunder	benecosMavericks
Netball Northern Ireland	Netball Scotland
Severn Stars	Surrey Storm
Team Bath Netball	Team Northumbria
Wasps Netball	Yorkshire

The competition will feature four stages, the first two will see four groups of three teams playing in single round robins and final positions will determine the groupings for the next stage of the competition.

Stage three will feature three groups of four teams, where groups one and two will be battling for standings to play in placing matches for positions 1-8, whilst group three will be competing for 9-12.

Stage four will be a final placing game for each team to determine the final positions for the competition.

That means a total of 48 games (1,536 minutes of netball) will be played at the 2018 School Games and there is likely to be in excess of 1,500 goals scored!

Download the Playing Schedule – please note that only the first stage of the competition is currently known, as the remaining sections are based on where teams finish.
