Association Championships is an integral part of Netball Victoria’s talent pathway for players, coaches and officials, and culminates in a finals day at the State Netball Centre.
With talent identification opportunities at each stage of the competition, associations from across the state first competed within their own region, before the two qualifying teams in each Championship division progressed to the finals.
Across Victoria, approximately 350 teams and more than 3,600 players competed in the event across Male, 13&U, 15&U, 17&U, Open and All Abilities divisions. The qualifying teams of each region competed for finals glory at Parkville on Sunday 16 June.
In an exciting reflection of the health of our talent pathway across the state, all eight teams in the grand finals were from different associations and leagues. The depth of talent particularly in regional Victoria was also on display, as 10 regional and six metro affiliates represented the 16 teams in finals.
