Netball (performance)

Manchester Met Netball

Manchester Met Netball is a performance sport, with six teams playing in the BUCS league and four teams playing in our Campus League. Our first team play in Premier North 2.

Alongside this, our strategic partnership with Manchester Thunder (four-times Vitality Netball Super League champions) shows the level of investment we have behind our netballers. We currently support all players, from pathway to senior, delivering coaching, nutrition, physiotherapy and strength and conditioning.

At the start of the academic year, all players must attend trials to determine your place on the team.
