SUPERLEAGUE STARS

Every year our netball teams have the opportunity to take to the court with stars from the Netball Superleague and in 2025, we were delighted to welcome 3 players from Cardiff Dragons and one each from London Pulse (NXT Gen) and Loughborough Lightning (NXT Gen).

We give teams two opportunities to play with or against the Superleague stars. Firstly, we have a showpiece netball match which allows teams the opportunity to play a 5 minute game against our team of stars.  With, for example, a member of staff lining up as goal keeper and Leah Middleton as goal attack, it really breaks the ice for the weekend and is great fun for all involved.

And secondly, on Saturday, each team that qualifies for the cup (plus the plate semi finalists) have one Superleague star randomly allocated to them for the day to play or coach.  Generally, it’s the teams allocated a circle player that win (Tamsin Greenway in 2019 was the only previous mid-court winner) but in 2025 Elle McDonald (centre) with Bears broke the status-quo and took home the title!

THE TOURNAMENT

TEAM

Seven players per team but with an unlimited squad size.

Competition

League seeding competition on Friday followed by second day league and knockout tournaments.

The Grounds

Fantastic hard surface with newly marked courts surrounded by individual team rest areas. 

Game Time

At least 80 minutes of netball per team across 2 days.

THE RESORT AND SPORTS FACILITIES

The Ultimate Tour has been held annually (with a 3 year break for COVID-related travel disruption) at the 5 star sporting-paradise of La Manga Club in Murcia, southern Spain since 2014. Built in 1972 as a single hotel and leisure complex, the club has rapidly expanded to over 2,500 private residences beautifully blended within the three championship golf courses, 28 court padel and real tennis centre and over 30 different bars and restaurants.

All events and accommodation are located at La Manga Club with our sports played 25 minutes north at sports city San Javier.  The site boasts a 4G football pitch, grass rugby pitch, 3 outdoor and 3 indoor netball courts, a newly refurbished gym plus 2 swimming pools (one outdoor).

The majority of UK and European airports fly to Murcia (30 minutes to La Manga club) or Alicante (70 minutes) so you could be sat around the pool in the sunshine with your teammates just 3 hours later!
