What an incredible way to finish the 2026 BFNL Netball Academy!
Over the past four weeks, we have watched our athletes grow not only in skill, however in confidence, leadership and game understanding. The learning and development across all participants has been outstanding. From footwork and fundamentals to match play, decision making and the improvement in every athlete has been clear to see.
Most importantly, the energy has been amazing. The fun, enthusiasm and willingness to learn created a fantastic environment each and every session. Our athletes embraced every opportunity, challenged themselves and supported one another, exactly what community sport is all about.
One of the true highlights of this year’s academy was the opportunity for our participants to learn from National Players, National Coaches, VNL Coaches and VNL Players. Having these high level mentors share their knowledge, experiences and insights provided inspiration and invaluable learning moments for everyone involved. It was an experience our athletes won’t forget anytime soon.
A huge thank you to our major sponsor, Showbiz Cinemas. Without Showbiz Cinema’s support, we simply could not deliver an academy of this quality or continue to provide development opportunities for athletes within our community. Your investment in grassroots sport is helping shape the future of netball in our region, and we are incredibly grateful.
Thank you to our coaches, guest presenters, athletes and families for making the 2026 BFNL Netball Academy such a success. We can’t wait to see these athletes continue to shine throughout the season and beyond.
