SUMMER FERNS 2026

The game that grows with the player.

Summer Ferns is back for 2026, providing children with the perfect opportunity to learn, play and develop their netball skills in a fun, welcoming, and supportive environment.

Whether your child is brand new to netball, looking to build confidence, or preparing for the grade they will play next season, Summer Ferns offers a program designed to help every player continue their netball journey.
