Netball has given us so much – the thrill of competition, unforgettable friendships, and lessons that extend far beyond the court. It's a sport that shapes resilience, discipline, and the spirit of teamwork. But what does the game ask for in return? Pure effort.


Effort is not about being the most skilled player but about giving your absolute best every time you step on the court. It’s about pushing through challenges, staying committed during practice, and embracing every opportunity to grow.


When you give your best effort, you honor the game, your teammates, and yourself. It transforms you as an athlete, building character and a winning mindset. Whether you’re diving for a loose ball, defending with determination, or staying focused during drills, it’s your effort that counts the most.


Effort is contagious. When one player leads with hard work, the entire team rises. Remember, netball doesn’t ask for perfection — just commitment and heart.


So, think about all the game has given you — the confidence, the community, the memories. Now, give back with everything you’ve got. Give the game your effort. That’s all it asks for, and it’s everything you need to succeed.
