If you have a commitment clash, we’ll try to help find another option for you. Just select the ‘unavailable’ box on the form and we’ll be in touch. You will still need to pay the trial fee.
After the final trial…
Results are usually confirmed within 3-5 days of the final trial and we’ll ask you to confirm your selection online and set up your monthly club payments. We announce squads as early as possible so we can move into pre season with a clear focus.
Then what happens?
Pre season training for National Prem 2, East Region 1, East Region 2 and u16 triallists will be on Mondays and Wednesdays throughout July and August. There could also be weekend pre season fixtures.
U12/13/14/15 will return to training in September and we will publish all dates with trial results.
We will ask the squad selected for the u14 East Region Youth League to come back in slightly earlier in preparation for the first round.

How much does everything cost?
There are two main fees. A one-off England Netball membership which you buy via the England Netball membership system, ENgage. A monthly club fee paid over 10 instalments. We subsidise monthly fees via fundraising and sponsorship where we can to make playing as accessible as possible.
We’ll ask senior athletes to find personal sponsorship to help offset the season cost. Sponsorship also helps to reduce any travel and accommodation. Funds come centrally into the club to re-distribute across our squads, so everyone works together to help each other.
We also try to find academy squad sponsorship. If you know anyone who can help, please email nuncsponsorship@gmail.com.
Supporting each other
We expect all club members to be positive advocates and visible to the whole club. This includes on all forms of social media and we encourage you to actively promote what we all do, promote each other and thank sponsors. We of course, don’t want to see or hear anything damaging to the club, our coaches or members.
And how committed is committed?!
It’s important you understand and can meet the full level of training/playing commitment set out, before you fill in this trial form.
Being invited into our peformance environment is the highest accolade within our club structure and it deserves commitment and passion from both athletes and coaches. We strive to provide a pathway with fantastic opportunities and need you fully on board!
If after reading this it isn’t for you, we have several club teams to get involved with locally so please do still get in touch!
