The Head Office, situated in Hitchin, Hertfordshire deals with the day to day administration of the Association through its 28 full time employees and 10 part time employees.
In addition, various aspects of the work are dealt with by a network of 30 full and part time people working for the Association in the Counties and Regions, carrying out specific roles to ensure continued growth and development of the sport.

Club Accreditation Scheme: Club Action Planning Scheme (CAPS)
CAPS helps netball clubs to function in the most efficient way and, once completed, provides proof that the club offers a quality environment for all members. It is directly linked to Sport England's Clubmark programme, which provides a national standard for good practice in the development of players, coaches and umpires at all levels. In line with the Clubmark award, CAPS focuses on four key areas that impact Netball clubs:
-
Duty of Care and Child Protection
-
Coaching and Competition
-
Club Administration/Management
-
Sports Equity and Ethics
