Following yesterday’s announcement that the lockdown would end early at midnight tonight, Saturday, November 21, the state government has today provided an update on community sport.
This morning, Police Commissioner Grant Stevens explained that community sport would not resume until at least December 1, 2020.
The new direction is more in line with what Premier Steven Marshall announced last Monday, November 16, cancelling community sport fixtures and training, both indoor and outdoor, for a two-week period.
See the details from that announcement here.
As explained at the time, the possibility of an extension beyond December 1 remains.
If an extension was to occur, Netball SA will look at a number of alternative options for our summer competitions and work closely with associations and clubs on what this means for the coming months of our sport.
Until then, we will await further direction from the state government.
The Netball SA offices are currently closed, however will re-open in line with government restrictions.
*UPDATE: Netball SA reception will be receiving phone calls again from Tuesday 24 November during our normal operating times (9am - 5pm, Mon-Fri)*
If you need to contact a staff member, there is a list of contacts here so do not hesitate to get in touch.
As always, please continue to be vigilant and follow government guidelines – this will only better our chances of avoiding an extension of the two-week period.
Ensure you practice good hygiene, maintain social distancing, and monitor any symptoms that could be linked to COVID-19. For more information on preventative measures, click here.

Netball SA will continue to communicate with you all and provide as many updates as possible in the coming days and weeks.
Stay safe and strong during this time and let’s all hope we’re back out on court as soon as possible!
