Association Carnivals are one-day netball events hosted by various Netball NSW associations throughout the season. They provide a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment where players, coaches, and umpires can develop their skills through multiple short-format games.
For Players:
Carnivals offer a chance to build game experience, enhance netball skills, and enjoy the sport in a friendly, competitive setting.
For Coaches:
These events are ideal for experimenting with team combinations, providing real-time feedback, and fostering team culture and leadership.
For Umpires:
Carnivals present valuable opportunities to gain on-court experience, refine decision-making, and receive constructive feedback.
Carnivals typically cater to various age groups, including NetSetGO (ages 5–10), Juniors (10–17), Seniors (18+), and All Abilities divisions. Many also include male divisions or allow male teams to participate in mixed formats.
