Nuestrahistoria
We are the market leader in delivering social sport for women, creating a unique adult only space that champions fun, fitness and friendship over competition.
Una liga en Warwick. Una idea simple. Un movimiento nacional que une a las mujeres a través del poder del deporte social.
En 2023, You Play Netball comenzó con una creencia simple: el deporte debería ser más que competencia. Debería tratarse de conexión, confianza, amistad y crear un espacio donde cada mujer se sienta que pertenece.
Nuestro viaje comenzó en Warwick, donde lanzamos nuestra primera liga You Play Netball. Queríamos crear algo diferente: un ambiente acogedor, inclusivo y sin juicios exclusivamente para mujeres de 18 años o más.
Exclusivamente para mujeres
Life as an adult can be busy, and finding time for yourself, making new friends and staying active isn't always easy. We wanted to change that by creating a space where women could switch off from everyday responsibilities, enjoy time for themselves and reconnect with the fun of playing netball.
There was no expectation to be the best player on court. No pressure to compete. Just women coming together to have fun, get moving and experience the joy of being part of a community.
What started as one local league quickly grew into something much bigger than we could ever have imagined.
De una liga a un movimiento nacional
Hoy, más de 60,000 mujeres participan en You Play Netball cada semana, convirtiéndonos en un nombre líder en el deporte social para mujeres. Desde esa primera liga en Warwick, hemos crecido hasta convertirnos en un movimiento nacional, creando oportunidades para que mujeres de 18 años o más se reconecten con el netball, construyan amistades y redescubran la confianza en sí mismas.
Pero nuestro impacto nunca se ha medido solo por números. Se trata de lo que sucede cuando las mujeres se reúnen, a menudo después de años alejadas del deporte, y descubren que todavía hay un lugar para ellas en la cancha.
Para algunas, You Play Netball es una forma divertida de mantenerse activas. Para otras, es una oportunidad para conocer gente nueva, mejorar su bienestar, reconstruir su confianza o encontrar un sentido de pertenencia. Para muchas, es la primera vez desde la escuela que vuelven a tomar un balón de netball.
Cualquiera que sea su edad, habilidad o razón para unirse, queremos que cada mujer se sienta bienvenida, apoyada y parte del equipo. Nuestro entorno solo para adultos brinda a las mujeres la libertad de disfrutar del deporte en sus propios términos, sin juicios ni presión para rendir.

Uniendo a nuestra comunidad a nivel nacional
As our community continued to grow, we wanted to offer our players more than just their weekly leagues. We wanted to create something that would bring women together on a much bigger scale, giving them the opportunity to meet players from across the country, challenge themselves in a supportive environment and feel part of something truly special.
In February 2025, we hosted our very first You Play Netball tournament, beginning an exciting new chapter in our journey.
Today, we're proud to host the UK's largest indoor netball tournament, bringing together 52 teams of players exclusively from our weekly sessions. Held biannually, our tournaments have become a highlight of the You Play Netball experience, giving women the opportunity to step beyond their local leagues and join a nationwide celebration of social sport.
What makes these events so special is the women who take part. Many haven't played netball since school, and for some, the idea of taking part in a tournament would once have felt completely out of reach. We've created an environment where they can experience the excitement of tournament netball without losing the fun, friendship and inclusive spirit that defines our community.
Our tournaments are about so much more than what happens on court. They bring together women from up and down the country who share a common experience through their weekly sessions, creating opportunities to meet new people, form lasting friendships and connect with a wider community of like-minded women.
For us, it's another way of giving back to our players and delivering something extra beyond their weekly games. It's about creating memories, building confidence, and showing women that it's never too late to try something new, take on a challenge, and discover what they're capable of.

Making a difference beyond the court
As a proudly women-led organisation, we understand the importance of creating spaces where women can feel comfortable, confident and free to be themselves. Everything we do is built around fun, fitness and friendship, putting connection before competition and community at the heart of every game.
Our commitment to making a difference extends beyond the court. We're proud to support causes close to our community, including ongoing donations to Mind and breast cancer charities, helping us make a positive difference beyond the game itself.
We believe that when women come together, the impact reaches far beyond sport. It's reflected in stronger friendships, improved confidence, a greater sense of belonging and the positive effect of having a supportive community around you.
Growing together
From weekly local leagues to national tournaments and events, You Play Netball continues to create opportunities for women to come together, be active and build lasting connections.
As we grow, we're also creating opportunities for individuals to run their own You Play Netball businesses, empowering more people to bring our unique approach to social sport into communities across the country. This allows us to reach even more women and build new communities around the same values that inspired our very first league in Warwick.
Looking back to where it all began in 2023, we're incredibly proud of the community we've built and the lives we continue to touch. More than 60,000 women participating every week represents more than a love of netball. It represents thousands of opportunities for connection, confidence, laughter, friendship and belonging.
And we're only just getting started.
Growing from within our community
One of the things we're most proud of is that our community doesn't stop at the court. Some of the women who first joined You Play Netball as players have since become valued members of our head office team, turning their own experiences of our community into an opportunity to help shape its future.
We believe this says something special about who we are. The women who work behind the scenes understand first-hand what makes You Play Netball different because they've experienced it themselves. They know the friendships, confidence and sense of belonging our sessions can create, and they bring that understanding into everything they do.
For us, it's about more than growing a business. It's about creating opportunities, recognising potential and giving women the chance to develop beyond the court. We're proud that women who were once part of our player community are now helping us welcome thousands more women into it.
Our community isn't just who we serve. It's who we are, who we grow with and who helps shape our future.
The little things that make a big difference
At You Play Netball, we believe creating an inclusive community means thinking about every part of the experience, from the moment a woman signs up to the friendships she makes along the way.
We want to remove as many barriers to participation as possible. That's why every team receives free team bibs in their second week, helping players get started without the added expense of purchasing their own kit. We want women to be able to turn up, get involved and enjoy playing, without feeling they need to invest in lots of equipment before they begin.
We also believe that a great experience starts behind the scenes. All our customers pay online, and our umpires are paid automatically, removing the need for teams to collect cash or organise payments on the night. It's a simpler, more convenient approach that allows everyone to focus on enjoying the game.
And while the systems we build help our leagues run smoothly, it's the people who make our community what it is. Our umpires play a vital role in creating the welcoming, supportive atmosphere our players value, and we never take their dedication for granted.
Every Christmas, we send our umpires cards and gifts as a small gesture of appreciation for the time, commitment and enthusiasm they bring to You Play Netball throughout the year.
For us, these details matter. Whether it's helping a new team get started, making payments easier or showing appreciation to the people who support our leagues, we want everyone involved in You Play Netball to feel valued.
Because building a great community isn't just about what happens on court. It's about how you make people feel, how you look after them and the little things that show you care.
You Play Netball is more than a sport. It's connection, confidence and community. It's a place to belong.
