National Premier League (netball)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Premier League is a netball league in England.

The league was founded at the start of the 2006/2007 season, as a replacement for the National Clubs League. Like its predecessor, it is the second level of play in the sport in England, below the Netball Superleague. When it was founded, it had two divisions, then for the 2010/2011 season, it expanded to three divisions, each with ten teams. Each season, the top two teams in divisions 2 and 3 are promoted to the division above, and the bottom two teams in each division are relegated.[1][2]
