Netball East Region is one of 9 Regions within England Netball. Each region has an elected volunteer regional management board and a regional unit with paid staff comprising a  Partnership Manager and a Regional Officer.

The East Region is made up of the seven netballing counties of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, East Essex, Essex Thurrock, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. Each County has their own volunteer County Committee and a paid Netball Development Officer.

Netball East is governed by the Regional Management Board (RMB) which includes the Regional Chair, Regional Treasurer, and the Chair from each of the Technical Support Group’s (TSG) which include Competition, Finance, Officiating, Volunteering, Communications/campaigns and Inclusion/diversity.

The Partnership & Delivery Manager is Philippa Hicks, The National Governance is Ezekiel Teya, the National Volunteering Manager is Imogen Greatbatch and the Regional Co-coordinator is Nasem Khan. Working alongside our elected Regional Management Board and County Committees, we develop and facilitate the delivery of all aspects of netball within the region.

England Netball employ a Partnership & Delivery Manager and a Regional Coordinator to support the RMB and the development programmes in the East. Part time Netball Development Officers are also employed in each county to work closely alongside the County Netball Associations, Schools, CSP's and other partners. Netball East also has a full time Netball Development Community Coach working in Hertfordshire developing Back to Netball.

WHAT WE DO 

Working together with our counties we deliver netball throughout the region including competition, Coaching, Finance, Officiating, Performance and Membership. We run the regional league and the performance development programme in the region.

The RMB Technical Support Groups all work extremely hard throughout the year to ensure that netball continues to develop and thrive within the East Region. 

The Regional Unit together with the County Netball Development Officers are responsible for Club Development including the Club Action Planning Scheme (CAPS) and developing new junior clubs, working with further and higher education, communication and marketing, education and training, competition, finance and increasing participation.
