📝 England Netball Membership Reminder

All players must ensure they have an active England Netball Engage membership before participating in matches or training. This is essential for insurance and eligibility. Please apply or renew your membership TODAY! via the England Netball Engage portal.

For Parents and guardians 

• Sign up for an ENgage account yourself.
• In your account dashboard, go to “My Family” → click “Add” to add your child.
• Under your child’s profile, click “Add Organisation”, find your club, and link it.
• Go to “Buy Membership” for the child profile, select the membership, and follow checkout steps.

Step-by-Step: Parent + Child Setup via ENgage

• Create Your Own ENgage Account (Adult Account)
• Navigate to the ENgage login page.
• Choose “Create Account” and follow the prompts to register with your personal details (name, email, password acceptance, etc.)

• Click the “Buy Membership” button.
• Choose the correct membership type (e.g., based on age group), then Add to Basket → Checkout → Payment 

Tip: Always log in using your parent account, not your child’s — otherwise you won’t have the option to see or buy their membership for safeguarding reasons
