Spring Netball Overview

Spring Competition is a short, casual netball competition that takes place over October and November annually, following on from the traditional winter competition. It’s social and fun, with music and occasional activations from external providers.

Teams enter directly to FNA and are not Club-based, with entries of full teams encouraged. It will occasionally be possible to place individuals into teams, however it is not guaranteed. All teams are required to have a minimum of seven players registered to participate in the Spring Competition. A maximum of 12 players can be registered in any team.

Please note that, where it is not possible to create divisions of eight teams in all divisions, alternative division sizes and Competition formats may be applied to individual divisions at the discretion of the Association, to ensure an enjoyable competition.

Male players are eligible to participate in all 16 & Under, 14 & Under, 12 & Under, Go, and Set divisions during Spring Competition, plus the Open Mixed divisions. Male players are not eligible to participate in the 18 & Under or Open Women divisions.

In the 12 & Under, Go, and Set competitions, there are no restrictions on the number of boys registered in a team, or for on-court participation.

In the Open Mixed, 16 & Under, and 14 & Under competitions, teams may have up to three male players on court at any one time. There must be no more than one male player in each playing area at any time (shooting, midcourt, defence).
