Netball Victoria’s 2026 member registration period begins in October, ahead of many affiliates running summer seasons.
This is an exciting time to be involved in netball, with the game going from strength to strength and participation in Victoria at an all-time high. Membership across the state topped 117,000 last year, surpassing the previous year’s record, and Netball Victoria look forward to welcoming more new players, coaches, officials and administrators in 2026.
The money raised from memberships is an essential part of that commitment. While we are determined to keep participant costs as low as possible, 2026 senior fees will increase by $4 and junior fees by $3. Woolworths NetSetGo registration fees will remain the same and will open on 1 December 2025.
This small increase in annual membership is necessary so Netball Victoria can invest even more in growing grassroots netball and supporting our vital affiliates, while also covering rising costs.
Netball Victoria is proud that its fees remain lower than every other state netball organisation, and less or comparable to other sporting bodies, while also continuing to ensure that membership delivers great value.
Not only does membership enable you to play, coach, umpire or participate in any Netball Victoria-affiliated association, competition or development course, it also allows Netball Victoria to provide support across vital areas including:
