Changing Facilities
There are limited changing facilities onsite close to the netball courts, they
are located in the sports hall (see site map on page 4). Please note that due
to the limited number of changing rooms, no belongings should be left in this
area and once teams are changed, they should promptly leave the area to
enable other teams to access them. We recommend that teams arrive
already changed to reduce issues with this.

Gazeebos
If schools wish to bring gazebos they may only be erected in the designated
areas. If you look at the map, the gazeebos can be placed to the right of the
courts. This is a grass area so please bring appropriate equipment to set your
gazebo up and ensure it is safely weighted to the ground (pegs and weights).
Gazebos are not permitted to be erected in any other areas and must not
block the entrance to the netball courts, due to the health and safety risks
this causes in enabling first aid staff to access the courts. The erection of

                                          8
gazeebos may be denied by the site manager depending on the weather
conditions. This will be communicated to teams if necessary.

The allocated space is available on a first come first serve basis.

The British Army Partnership
England Netball has joined forces with the British Army who are offering
support to the netball family both at grassroots and elite level.

The British Army, which uses sport to enhance the physical, mental and
environmental preparedness of its personnel, has teamed up with England
Netball in the hope of connecting with a wider audience of young people,
particularly females who it has found often know the least about the
opportunities within the Army.

England Netball is pleased to have the British Army on board and to be
working together on some new and innovative ways to engage with our
female audience and to spread the word on what the Army stands for, its
career opportunities, and the fantastic sport and education it offers.

The Army shares strong synergies with England Netball; netball is the ultimate
team sport as no single player can go everywhere on the court and the Army
is the ultimate team career. Sport is a huge part of the army as it encourages
teamwork, communication, physical fitness and commitment, which are all
key elements required for this wonderful sport.

The British Army will be supporting and attending the National Schools Final
and are very much looking forward to engaging with the teams in
attendance through fun outreach and engagement activities.
On 16th March, be sure to look out for the British Army activation area as
representatives from the Army will be running some fun competitions to give
teams the opportunity to win free tickets to the Vitality Netball Superleague
Grand Final, which takes place on Saturday 18th May at the Copper Box
Arena in London.

In addition, the winning team in each
age group will also be invited to attend
an Ultimate Training Camp led by the
British Army. This will include on court
training from England Netball coaches,
plus the chance to meet and talk with
the Head Coach of the Vitality Roses,
Tracey Neville. Good luck to all the
teams competing!

Don’t miss out!

Our Codes of Conduct require the highest standards of conduct from

the values and standards expected at all times. Everyone must conduct
themselves in an honest, fair, impartial and transparent manner.

Our Codes of Conduct are applicable to all aspects of the Sport and are
driven by England Netball’s Values (Respect, Teamwork, Achievement and
Fun) and the Guiding Principles (set out above).

I will Respect:

    The rules, regulations and requirements of the Sport, including, but not

      indirectly

    The rights, dignity and worth of all people involved in netball, regardless
      of gender, marital status, race, colour, disability, sexuality, age,
      occupation, religion or political opinion

    The rights, dignity and worth of Children, Young People and Adults at
      Risk and ensure that I am aware of the Safeguarding best practice
      guidelines and procedures when interacting with them.

    Confidentiality and the sensitivities of information I hold on other
      individuals.

    Netball and the individual’s reputation and not take any action or make
      inappropriate comments about a fellow participant, coach, official,
      volunteer or member of England Netball’s staff that will bring the Sport
      or those associated with delivering the Sport into disrepute, including
      making comments on social media technology. I will respect EN’s
      guidance and policies on social media technology.

    The position I hold within Netball and always conduct and dress myself in
      an appropriate manner.

          umpires at the end of the game with a hand shake or three cheers.

         Never argue with an official or participant during a game and listen
          to and cooperate with officials’ decisions
