Inclusion Round 2025
Celebrating Netball for Everyone
Let’s Brighten the Court
We’re bringing the colour with balloons and brightly coloured netballs across all matches. We’d love our clubs and members to get involved. Here are some fun and safe ways to show your support:
- Wear rainbow socks, scrunchies, ribbons, or colourful bibs
- Add bright leggings or shorts (no pockets) under uniforms
- Use safe accessories that allow you to play freely
More Choice, More Inclusion
Our Representative Program offers players the option of wearing shorts and singlets as an alternative to the traditional netball dress — promoting comfort, flexibility, and inclusivity.
Many clubs have embraced this, offering shorts and tops alongside dresses.
For Club Competition, players can wear:
- Long or short-sleeved tops and leggings (no pockets, buttons, or zippers) under uniforms
- To maintain consistency, all players from the same club must wear the approved club colour – check with your club for details.
Umpires wear predominately white: dress, shirt, skirt, skort, shorts, or pants. They may also wear navy blue skirt, skort, shorts, or pants.
