Pathways Program (15+)

Big news for all players aged 15 and above! The 2025 NBNA Pathways Program is here, offering exciting opportunities for everyone aged 15 and above! Whether you're just starting your netball journey or you're a seasoned player looking to take your game to the next level. This program will provide another playing avenue for players to explore new opportunities and challenge themselves in a different setting.
The program is open to ALL players 15 and up, that's right EVERYONE plays (this is NOT a selective program).
