High Peak play in a Midweek League every Tuesday from September to May, (please see fixtures for exact dates).

We currently have places for teams in our League. Please contact us for more information. Our netballers range from 15 to 50+ years old, and some of them are also umpires and coaches.

We play at Chapel Leisure Centre in Chapel-en-le-Frith.

Everyone is welcome to come and watch, and occasionally the option to play!

If you would like to offer your services to our teams or are looking to join, please see our 'Floaters/Umpires' page.

Playing Nights

League games are played on a Tuesday. Courts can be hired for training on other nights of the week (inside & outdoors). There are 5 games a night, starting at 7.15pm and last 30 minutes. All league games are played indoors.

'Return to Netball' Sessions

We are shortly going to start running 'Return to Netball' sessions for those who want to start playing netball again but who feel they are not confident enough, or maybe do not wish to go straight back into League games.

'Return to Netball' will refresh basic skills and provide an opportunity to play friendly, fun games. Whether you want to play for fitness and fun or want to progress up into the League, these sessions will suit all standards of returnees to netball.

Interested?? Please let us know! Use CONTACT page leaving your name & contact number and we will get in touch and let you know when sessions start.

How to join the League

TEAMS: New teams can apply to join the League before the start of the League. Applications to join must be made by the end of September. Arrangements will usually be made for new teams to play a friendly match before the season begins so that we can make sure you are placed in the division that best suits your standard of play.

INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS: Individual players are welcome to join the League at any time. When joining, you have a choice of whether you wish to register with an existing team (in which case we will try and place you with a team that best suits your level of play).

Alternatively, you may chose to play as a 'FLOATER' (in which case you are not registered to a team and are free to play as often as you wish and for as many teams as you wish). New players usually opt to play as 'floaters' as this gives them the opportunity to get to know teams and find their way around the divisions! If you wish to register as a Floater you can do so on-line via the Floaters Registration Form on the "FLOATERS & UMPIRES" page.

Kit

Teams may play in any colour or style of netball kit. Team kit colours must, however, be agreed with the Committee when applying to enter the League.

Umpires

We would like all teams to have a qualified umpire, if a team does not have an umpire they are required to provide one (see umpires list for assistance) and run the line alongside them - training is available to help new teams who do not have a qualified umpire meet this requirement.

Meetings & Social Events

Team representatives are required to attend a couple of meetings throughout the year to pay fees, receive information etc. Attendance at the AGM which is held in February is compulsory. The League hosts one big presentation night a year. These are great nights out usually with catering and the famous quiz.
