Hosted by Netball Tasmania, the National Netball Championships will mark a significant milestone in the return of the competition, following the cancellation of the 2020 event due to the coronavirus pandemic.
First contested in 1985, the annual tournament provides emerging talent from across the country the opportunity to represent their respective state or territory and compete for the championship title in 17/U and 19/U age groups.
The National Netball Championships have proven to be an important step in Netball Australia’s pathway, with many of the Origin Australian Diamonds representing their state or territory in the event.
Netball Australia Executive General Manager of Performance Stacey West is thrilled to see National Netball Championships back on court in 2021.
“This fixture will provide a blockbuster of back-to-back and well overdue competition for the netball community, serving up 72 games featuring rising stars from across the country,” West said.
“It’s an exciting time and excellent opportunity for these athletes, umpires and coaches to come together and be immersed in the high-performance environment.”
South Australia are the current premiers after taking a clean sweep in both age divisions in thrilling wins against New South Wales in 2019.
The round-robin style tournament will see six days of match play take place featuring 16 teams, with finals closing out the event on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 July.
Event tickets will be available for pre-purchase from Monday June 14th at 3:00PMEST here.
Those attending the National Netball Championships will need to download the ‘Check-In Tas’ application and scan into the venue using available QR codes to comply with COVID-19 tracing responsibilities as set by the Tasmanian Government.
