Welcome to the official website of Netball Europe

Netball Europe Under 17 Competitions 2021

Sadly due to the constant changing circumstances relating to return to play, travel and quarantine both Under 17 events in 2021 have been cancelled. This has not been an easy decision to make as we realise what an important competition this is for this age group both in their playing development and in representing their countries.

Following the same setup as the Netball Europe Open in November, a series of online workshops for players, managers and coaches will be held on the 27th and 28th February 2021.

More information about this will be announced later.

2020 Cancelled Events

Cancellation of Netball Europe B/A Written Assessment October 2020

Please go to Officiating for further information.

Cancellation of the Open Challenge

Originally scheduled for May, the Open Challenge was postponed to November in the hope that by then Covid-19 would be a thing of the past, or at least allow us to get back to playing netball internationally. Regretfully that is not the case so the decision has been taken to cancel the event. Our thanks go to Gibraltar Netball for their tireless efforts in trying to reschedule the event.

Cancellation of the WYC Qualifiers

Sadly but understandably the Netball World Youth Cup 2021 qualifying event due to be held in Glasgow between October 9^th-11^th 2020 has been cancelled. The Netball Europe Management Board would like to thank Netball Scotland who were to have been the hosts for this event.
The other qualifiers due to be held in Africa, Americas and Oceania by October 2020 have also been cancelled and the INF Board has decided to use INF World Rankings to determine the qualifiers for these regions.
The INF World Rankings were published in May to reflect all matches played before international events were cancelled as a result of the pandemic. The INF Board is consulting with its Members regarding the handling of World Rankings during the return to international play.

Cancellation of the 2020 Open Championship in August

Sadly, due to the impact of the corona virus, Netball Europe and the host Netball Scotland have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Open Championship event scheduled for August.

AGM and Council Meeting

Due to the current situation this year’s AGM was held remotely on the prearranged date 14th June 2020 at 9.30 am for an hour.
