Each year, Netball NT selects 17&U and 19&U teams to represent the Northern Territory at the Netball Australia National Netball Championships (NNC), bringing together the country’s emerging netball talent for national-level competition.

The NNC program is an important part of the Netball NT pathway, providing Territory athletes with the opportunity to develop their game, experience a high-performance team environment, and compete against representative teams from every state and territory across Australia.

The program also provides development opportunities for coaches, team managers, umpires, and other officials, supporting the growth of people across all areas of the Territory netball pathway.

Representing the Northern Territory at the National Netball Championships is about more than taking the court. Athletes are challenged to grow individually and as a team, build strong connections, and take pride in representing the Territory on the national stage.

NNC Phase 1 Trials 
Athlete nominations for the 2027 National Netball Championships are now open!

Following a record number of Phase 1 Trial nominations last year, we're looking forward to welcoming athletes from across the Northern Territory to another year of development and selection opportunities.

Phase 1 Trials will be held in Alice Springs and Darwin, giving eligible athletes the opportunity to develop and demonstrate their skills through Skill Development Sessions and Match Play.

Whether you've represented the Territory before, have been working towards this opportunity, or are considering trialling for the very first time, we encourage you to give it a go.

Athletes are expected to attend all selection sessions. If an athlete is unable to attend a selection session due to exceptional circumstances, they may request an exemption from Netball NT.

Exceptional circumstances may include illness or injury, significant family circumstances, education commitments, approved representative commitments, unavoidable travel circumstances, or other circumstances considered reasonable by Netball NT.

Where an athlete cannot be adequately assessed because of their absence, Netball NT may determine an appropriate alternative assessment process. An exemption from attending a selection session does not guarantee selection.
