Representative Netball

Every year, Manningham Netball provides all members of the Association with the opportunity to try out for a position in one of the Association’s Representative Squads.

Representative squads are made up of the best and most talented players from any club or team within the Association.

These players are selected to represent the Association in competitions and tournaments throughout the year. We currently have 17 Representative Teams competing in 11/U through to Open age groups.
