How to Register a Netball Team

Once you've got your teammates together, you can sign up using the link above. You'll need to provide the captain's details and the team name. Unless otherwise stated, the entry is only valid for one term.

There are three different ways to pay:

• Pay in full: the ticket is purchased by the captain, then split between all members in a way that works best for you.
• Split payment: pay the deposit to secure your spot and then send a payment link to the rest of your members to contribute.
• Pay with club/society funds: we can take the entry fee straight from an affiliated club/society account. Please note the president or treasurer must submit the form (or email to approve) for this option.

If you are having any issues please get in touch at [email protected]

If you want to join as a team and don't quite have enough players, you can still sign up! Just tick the box on the form and state how many players you are looking for.

How to Register as an Individual

Participating in sport during university is a great opportunity to make life long friends and we want to ensure all students have the opportunity to do so. Firstly, we recommend seeing if you'd like to join any exisiting society teams - discover them here.

You can also sign up to our leagues as an individual and we'll place you in an existing looking for extra players or new team made p of individuals. If you want to be on the same team as another individual, please state their name on the webform and we will try our best to accommodate this request.
