The National Schools Competition is the biggest schools competition in the netball calendar.  The competition consists of three age groups; U14, U16 & U19 and commences at either an Area or County Round, with schools finishing as winners or runners up in each age group progressing through to the Regional round of the competition.

The winners and runners up from each of the nine regions take place in the National Finals which take place in March every year.

Last week the KES U19 squad won the County Round title for the 4th year in a row.
