London Pulse

London Pulse are a team in the Netball Superleague, the elite netball competition in England, Scotland and Wales.[1]

They were promoted to the Superleague in 2018, to begin from the 2019 season. They replaced foundation club Team Northumbria, who had withdrawn from the league from the end of the 2017 season. They are the first team in the Netball Superleague to represent central London.[1][2]

The Pulse is based at the Copper Box Arena.[1][2]

The Pulse pre-existed their promotion to the Superleague, having had a team in the national youth netball tournament, the National Performance League, against youth teams from eight Superleague franchises and a Yorkshire team.[3] The team won the under-19 competition in 2018.[4][5]

Natalie Seaton, a former English international, serves as the franchise's chief executive officer.[5]
