School Games Organisers

Welcome to Bee, delivered by England Netball. This page provides everything you need as either a teacher or a School Games Organiser to deliver great Bee netball within your school.

Bee is for all primary aged children in both key stage 1 & key stage 2. It helps children enjoy being active and progress whilst both learning and playing the game.

Bee proactively supports the social development of children and our ‘Beeliefs’ enables key skills and character traits to be at the forefront of activity, whilst learning the skills of the game.

We have produced a short video to introduce you to our formats and purpose which you can watch below. 

How can we deliver Bee Netball in our school?

Any primary school can deliver Bee within the curriculum and/or as part of the wider school programme. Bee is the ultimate team sport and has many benefits to your school’s pupils.

Bee Netball can also be held as a lunch or after school activity for children keen to be with their friends, practice their skills and super charge their team work. We have simplified rules for Year 3 & 4 here and Year 5 & 6 here.

We know lots of school playgrounds already have netball lines marked on them, but if your school doesn’t have lines or hasn’t got netball posts just yet, it doesn’t mean your pupils can’t enjoy Bee Netball.

What makes Bee, particularly special is at the heart of everything are the ‘Beeliefs’. These can be used within any Bee activity at your school, but also across your whole school if you think they will help.

Bee Netball can be pretty straight forward. Here is your guide to the rules.
