SN Reserves was established as a pilot competition in 2024 to provide additional match play opportunities for emerging national talent, and in February, Netball Australia confirmed the competition would return for 2025 as a critical development pathway.
The competition has expanded this year with all eight SSN teams represented – including the Melbourne Mavericks for the first time – playing each other once across a seven-week season that will run alongside SSN from Round 4 to Round 10. The competition will also feature a bolstered finals weekend and in-season tournament to take place at Melbourne’s Waverley Netball Centre in June.
