The Deutsche Bank Netball Winter League and Development Programme

Deutsche Bank's sponsorship of the Jersey Netball Association (JNA) helps to fund the Deutsche Bank Winter league. It also subsidises the operation of youth development squads, including training for umpires and coaches and provides the necessary funding for juniors with exceptional talent or recognised potential to progress via the Deutsche Bank Development Programme.

The JNA has been established within the Island since 1944. During 2002/2003 the association had approximately 400 registered players, 290 Seniors and 110 Under 16's, associated with 31 teams spread across four divisional leagues. Netball is the largest ladies associated sport within the Island and is the primary sport for girls within the local educational system.

Like any sport, continuation can only be possible through encouraging junior development and the Deutsche Bank Development Programme ensures the longevity of this vibrant and exciting island game through the advancement of our younger players.

As a sport which attracts people from all spectra of Island life, many of our staff and clients share an interest in this sport. The dedication, teamwork and focus shown by the players, umpires and coaches within the JNA is reflected by the high standard of play within the league. This commitment is shared by all of us at Deutsche Bank.
