17U and 19U State Teams
SA the Champion State
Our South Australian 17U and 19U state teams have seen incredible success over the past years at the National Netball Championships.
The 17U state team once again brought home gold, defeating Netball NSW to go back-to-back in the 2025 National Netball Championships. The side went undefeated for the entire tournament and held their nerve on the big stage in a tight finish, taking the game 33-26.
SA’s 19U side played earlier on the same day, narrowly falling short to Netball ACT by two goals, finishing their tournament in sixth place.
Our underage state teams provide a wonderful opportunity for the best of the state’s emerging talent to develop and showcase their skills on the national stage.
