Welcome
East Essex is committed to the development of umpires and will continue to provide mentoring to learner umpires and umpires progressing through C Award and on to B and A Awards.
We have a extremely strong partnership with Essex schools to develop and support our future growth of young people in netball.
By organising the National schools rounds and the Essex schools cup we are enhancing the opportunity for pupils to play netball.
To ensure schools are represented at East Essex we have a qualified P.E teacher on the committee who represents the schools to help align programs alongside the county targets.
We work to provide links between schools and clubs from KS2-5
