Short Season & Short Program Information
In addition to traditional competition formats, Netball Victoria also offers a short season competition or short program format. Both affiliates and non-affiliates may apply to conduct short season competitions or short program format sessions. Free for affiliates, with a license fee payable for non-affiliates, a short season competition includes insurance coverage (see details below) for competition/ program organisers, as well as access to the Netball Connect platform for easy registration and live scoring. Participants holding a full Netball Victoria membership can participate in short season competitions under their membership with no additional Netball Victoria membership charge. Participants who do not have a full Netball Victoria membership must purchase a short season/ program membership, and register for each competition or program they participate in. Additional competition/ program fees may be set by the competition/ program organiser.
