In wonderful news for All Abilities netballers across the state, the Netball NSW Foundation has been successful in securing grant funding from the Confident Girls Foundation which will lead to better equipment to make the game more inclusive.
Funding from Confident Girls Foundation will support the expansion of Netball NSW’s All Abilities Netball offering in 2026, significantly increasing the capacity of its Community Coaching network across metropolitan Sydney and regional NSW by providing essential equipment tailored to the participation needs of young people with disability.
The Netball NSW Foundation is a social impact initiative of Netball NSW launched in February 2026. Through strategic collaborations with funding and impact partners, the Netball NSW Foundation aims to amplify the positive impact of netball across NSW, remove barriers to participation, and provide netball as a place of belonging, lifelong learning and community connection.
Netball NSW Head of Foundation, Janyne Hogan said:
“Sport should be accessible for everyone. This funding enables our team to purchase tailored All Abilities equipment and deliver dedicated programs for schools and local netball communities across NSW, on a scale never before possible.”
“This will significantly increase access to participation in netball in 2026 and beyond – bringing to life the spirit of our Foundation’s first pillar, ‘Netball is a Place to Belong’.”
In NSW, netball has a reach and community footprint unrivalled by any other sport, creating a unique platform for organisations who work together to drive meaningful and lasting social outcomes across NSW.
