The RSL SSA Netball program provides high-performance coaching and training opportunities to up-skill athletes and assist them in progressing to higher representation within the sport of netball.

Netball NSW endorses the program and provides talented netballers the opportunity to grow as netballers and people within the Netball NSW Athlete Pathway Framework

The program sits between local representative netball and higher-order representation, such as NSW state team selection.

The 2025 netball program will run from October 2024 to September 2025. Trials for the 2025 RSL Netball Program: 19th October 2024 at Narrandera Sports Stadium
