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.

Our under 19s were crowned winners at the 2023 National Netball Championships. Their journey to the gold medal match was also unblemished, they didn’t drop a game during the pool rounds. They defeated NSW by six to book their ticket to the gold medal match against Western Australia. 

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.
