From Gunnedah to Goulburn, Kiama to Ku-ring-gai, Mudgee to Manly and Penrith to Port Stephens—240 teams from every corner of NSW, the largest number on record, are gearing up for the biggest weekend on the junior netball calendar.
The 2025 HART Junior State Titles, taking place this weekend from 5–7 July, promises three action-packed days of elite junior competition, community spirit and netball magic. With more than 2,500 young athletes set to take the court, the event stands as a true celebration of grassroots sport and the Netball NSW pathway.
"Since its inception in 1969, the Junior State Titles has grown into one of the premier development pathways for emerging netball talent. This year, the 14U age category is at full capacity with a record breaking 82 teams competing along with 21 teams in the 14U Championship Division,” Stacy Harding, General Manager Competitions said.
The tournament is occurring at two venues - Baulkham Hills Shire Netball Association, which will host the 12U, 13U, and 14U Championship and Division 2 teams, along with the 14U Male Championship (Sunday/Monday only) and Penrith District Netball Association, which will welcome Division 3 and 4 teams in the 12U, 13U and 14U age groups.
Thanks to the generous support of HART, naming rights partner since 2019 and Penrith City Council, the event is set to be bigger and better than ever. Their contribution helps Netball NSW deliver a first-class experience for players, officials, families and fans alike.
The atmosphere at the Junior State Titles is second to none. From the vibrant opening ceremony to decorated tents, the courtside excitement is where talent and teamwork shine.
All eyes will be on the likes of Randwick, the reigning 13U Championship winners, as they aim to go back-to-back in the 14U division. Meanwhile, Manly Warringah, who dominated the 12U Championship in 2024, will look to continue their winning ways in the 13U bracket.
But it’s not just about what happens on the court. Off-court fun includes special appearances from NSW Swifts and GIANTS Netball players, team mascots Sporty and GIA, giveaways from HomeWorld, chill-out time at the GIANTS Zone, and the chance to grab exclusive Junior State Titles merchandise from Valour.
The countdown is on. The stage is set. Let the 2025 HART Junior State Titles begin!
