London Mavericks

What London Mavericks does

London Mavericks is a professional netball franchise competing in the relaunched Netball Super League (NSL), formed in 2024 when the franchise separated from Saracens Mavericks under co-owners Lucy Wray and Olivia Hall. The club operates an elite 10-player NSL squad alongside a vertically integrated player development pathway spanning Futures programmes, U15/U17/U19/U23 squads, the Player Development Programme (PDP), the NXT Gen League, and the NSL Feeder Squad, anchored by a partnership with the University of Hertfordshire. The London Mavericks Netball Ltd entity is registered in England (Company No. 15720460) with 35 employees and is headquartered in London, with NSL matches hosted across Herts Sports Village, OVO Arena Wembley, Brentwood Centre, Essex Sports Arena, Brighton Centre, and Utilita Arena Sheffield.

The club generates revenue across three streams: match ticket sales (distributed via the Fanbase ticketing platform), merchandise sales (official Choice Kit range and Nike/KitQueen-supplied apparel), and sponsorship and partnerships with brands such as KitQueen/Nike, Science in Sport, Fanbase, Heights, Flyhawk, and the University of Hertfordshire. Its go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, anchored by Partner Schools, community camps, adult social tournaments, arena-based matchday experiences, and a Sky Sports broadcast partnership. On the performance side, the club has assembled a high-credentialed coaching and performance team under Director of Netball Tamsin Greenway, supported by Head Coach, Assistant Coach, NSL Feeder Squad Head Coach, physiotherapist, S&C, performance analysis, and psychological wellbeing leads.
