Play Netball Competitively
Students can take part in competitive netball at all levels and an extensive fixture programme of matches against local and regional schools and clubs. At the senior level, there are higher-level fixtures against other schools in local, regional and national tournaments.
We offer one-to-one coaching, strength and conditioning programmes, nutritional advice, physiotherapy and massage to meet students’ individual developmental needs. Some take their training to the next level, enrolling on the elite Performance Sports Programme (PSP).

Partnerships
QE has close links with Netball Yorkshire. Several students attend the North Yorkshire County Pathway Programme during the winter, which is based at QE. In the senior school, many students are involved with Leeds Rhinos, Loughborough Lightning and Team Northumbria performance academies. Students also play against a few international schools when they tour the UK.
