The inaugural Sunshine Challenge Netball Invitational is the premier event uniting the diverse netball community in the search for Australia's champion pathways teams.
Established by Netball Queensland, this new competition will feature the nation’s top state league, men's and community teams in a quest to find out just who is the best of the best.
The Premier Women’s division will feature the best state league teams from across Australia competing against each other in a shootout to determine just who is the top netball club in the country.
As well as the Premier Women’s division, the tournament will include Premier Men’s and Community Women’s competitions – making it a true celebration of the diverse and wide-ranging netball family.
All players will get a taste of Suncorp Super Netball action with the inclusion of the two-point Super Shot, which has already been introduced to great success in Queensland in the HART Premier Netball League.
Netball Queensland hopes to see the Sunshine Challenge Netball Invitational become an annual feature on the Australian netball calendar.
