About playnetball.com
Playnetball.com was founded in Dec 2007 by Steve Price & Emma Williams who, after playing in another league for a while, realised that there were lots of improvements that could be made for netballers in London. They therefore started their own league which has now grown to include more than 150 teams almost entirely through word of mouth. Playnetball.com was founded on the principles of providing friendly, fun and competitive netball, with good, safe venues, great umpires and great organisation at a really fair price.
Emma’s now gone back to Australia to pursue a life of sunshine, koalas and lollies but we still give it our all to make sure that playnetball.com continues to provide the very best netball leagues in London.
We want happy netballers so – our promise to you – if you can think of a way to reasonably improve the league then let us know. We’ll do everything we can to make sure it happens. Except the weather. As ever, there’s not much we can do about that…
Steve has been around since the very start of playnetball.com and is responsible for making sure that all the boring stuff behind the scenes gets done. He’s been involved with running sporting leagues and competitions for what seems like forever and makes sure that we have a venue, a website, equipment, first aid, teams to play against, and a pub to go to afterwards.
Steve Price – Founder
After being charmed by Steve at a Playnetball.com tournament in 2013, Cassie didn’t really have a choice but to get involved in the business! Fortunately, she is a self-confessed Netball Geek and is quite good at organising stuff so was happy to get involved (although marrying the boss maybe goes above and beyond her role!). She now manages the daily operations for playnetball.com, expertly supported by Alex (Marketing) and Jon (Admin) who are the ones who really do all the work, whilst she carries out her full-time role as an Executive Assistant for a global media agency. A London-born lass, Cassie has been playing netball since she was just 8 years old when she played WD for her primary school team, even though she wasn’t technically old enough, moving to GA when she grew a bit taller. It took her about 20 years to realise that she was a much better defender and hasn’t looked back since. Cassie is also a qualified umpire and plays for Thursday Mixed B Team, Your Face, although now not as often as she’d like seeing as how she and Steve have moved to (almost) Wales.

Alex joined the playnetball.com team in November 2022. She has a background in Finance but after playing in the leagues for the past two years decided to make a career change to the world of netball! You’ll find her playing Ladies C grade on Monday nights and almost every scratch game she can be there for. Alex is also the proud owner of the Playnetball phone for any WhatsApp queries.
