We acknowledge and celebrate the ongoing contribution of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander netball community 

We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first Australians and custodians of the lands, and acknowledge the continuing
relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with
traditional lands and waters. 

We respect the continuing cultures, languages and heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and place importance on showing this respect. 

Netball SA is proud to launch the First Nations Participation Scholarship Program. The Scholarship aims to encourage & drive participation in the Sport of Netball in SA, by identifying emerging Indigenous talent & supporting their entry to the early stages of the National Player Pathways.
