School Membership and the National Schools 

Competition 🏐

School Membership 2025-2026 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Why September?

Many counties and regions hold their Annual General Meetings (AGMs) over the summer - sometimes as late as July, just before schools break up - which means fees often can’t be finalised until then.

Once the new school term begins in September, we’ll start generating membership orders. These will include payment links and will be automatically emailed to the school contact listed in ENgage. From there, schools will have 30 days to complete payment before the order expires.

If the email doesn’t arrive or a bill is needed instead, schools can reach out to England Netball directly using the link below.

How you can help your schools renew

To help schools access the payment link or request a bill for the 2025–2026 membership year, you could add the following text to your entry form for the National Schools Competition:

To participate in the county round of the National Schools Competition, your school must be a member of England Netball.

All secondary schools that took part in the competition last year will receive an email to renew their membership in September. If you haven’t received the email, require a bill, or haven’t participated previously, you can contact England Netball’s Customer Experience team here: englandnetball.co.uk/submit-a-request

When contacting the team, please include your school’s ENA ID. If you don’t know your school’s ENA ID, or don’t have one, please provide your school’s name, address, and your contact details.

Please note: Membership must be renewed within 30 days of placing the order. Schools cannot compete until payment has been received and processed.
