Site Managers
Playnetball.com has a site manager for each location for each night of the week to make sure everything runs smoothly. Sometimes they’ll be umpiring and sometimes they’ll be running round making sure everything is just right. In case you need to get hold of them and you don’t know what they look like, you can ask any one of the umpires or just find their picture below!
Angel
Jade
Jade, our wonderful Site Manager on BOTH Mondays and Wednesdays in Angel, has been umpiring with us since 2013 (aka the dawn of time!!). She’s not only a hard core umpire, she also plays for the Prison Service netball team regularly, showing everyone who’s boss at GD! Next time you see her with a whistle in hand, you might think twice about giving her any back chat 😉
We love you Jade, thank you for your service!
James
James has been our Tuesday Site Manager for a little while now, you’ll often see him sporting multicoloured laces, glasses, shorts or socks (or all of the above!). James also is the founder of Unicorns LGBTQIA+ Netball Club, who have two affiliated teams playing in our leagues! Unicorns Netball Club also run monthly training sessions open to all genders and abilities.
If he’s not umpiring or site managing, you’ll catch James playing Goal Shooter for his Thursday night team, Unicorns Emeralds!

Highbury
Zoey
Zoey has been with Playnetball from the beginning and is a great member of the umpiring team. She is an A award umpire so one of our highest qualified umpires and manages to juggle being a social worker, mother, netball fanatic as well as Site Managing at Highbury on Mondays!
When she has a spare evening, Zoey recommends Flight Club – see our Friends and Sponsor page for discount code for Playnerballers!
You can read our interview with Zoey here.
Emma
The fabulous Emma is our Wednesday night Site Manager in Highbury. She’s been with us for a little while now, so is well versed in all things playnetball! One of the friendliest people we know, make sure to say hello to her if you’re joining us on Wednesdays, and thank her for all of the umpiring she does for us. We love you Emma!
Fee
Our first ever winner of the umpire of the year award! Fee has been with Playnetball for a while now and is a regular at the courts (and pub!) most Tuesdays and Thursdays. With an infectious laugh and a killer stare it’s difficult to find anyone that doesn’t want Fee to umpire or play or coach their game. read out interview with Fee here.
Dulwich
Pete
The wonderful Pete has only recently taken over as our Dulwich Site Manager, but my is he doing a fantastic job! Pete was our Umpire of the Quarter for Q1 of 2023, and if everyone could be like Pete, our jobs would be a breeze! You’ll often find Pete umpiring in both Angel and Highbury, or perhaps you’ll spot him on court playing GS/GK for Lobstars. Pete also loves to play cricket, a true all-rounder!
