We look forward to welcoming you to St Catherine’s and Nottingham High School in October. At this point, both the U11 and U19 tournaments will be running normally, but with an important difference – in order to keep numbers down on-site , we respectfully ask that only one adult may accompany each team of three. No extras please. 

At this point in time we are planning to run the next academic year at St Catherine’s with mask-wearing optional, but preferred for major gatherings. Should this change during the year, we will let you know. Please expect the same at Nottingham High. We will be keeping a close eye on COVID regulations and will adhere to whatever the government and the guidelines of the schools are at the time.

We know you will support us in our aim to keep everyone as safe as possible. We are very keen to resume the competitions, which we know the girls have been missing.
