Netball Australia has established a COVID-19 working group to ensure the netball community across the country has access to the most relevant and timely information on hand.

In the interest of increasing hygiene practices, players are reminded it is okay to avoid shaking hands with opposition at the end of a game given the current risks. As an alternative, we encourage players to use verbal congratulations to display sportsmanship and gratitude.
Our members and local associations are encouraged to direct any queries to their relevant stakeholder relations team member at Netball SA.
