Road to the Copper Box 2027: Registration is Officially Open!

London Pulse is incredibly proud to announce that registration for the 2027 Road to the Copper Box tournament is now open. After another sell-out year of youth competition in 2026, we are expanding our categories and inviting clubs, schools, and county squads from across the country to compete for the ultimate prize in domestic youth netball.

This is your squad's exclusive opportunity to step out under the bright lights and experience the unparalleled thrill of playing your Final on the official show court at the Copper Box Arena—right before the London Pulse senior squad takes to the court for a Netball Super League (NSL) fixture.

The Ultimate Matchday Experience

At London Pulse, we are passionate about creating a lasting legacy for the next generation of netballers. The Road to the Copper Box is designed to give young athletes a taste of the elite environment, testing their skills against top-tier opposition while building unmatched team camaraderie.

For those squads skilled enough to battle through the initial tournament rounds and reach the Finals, the reward is an unforgettable matchday experience. Finalists will play on the legendary Copper Box show court, feeling the roar of the London Pulse fan base as they arrive for the main NSL fixture. It is an opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime.
