AFL Barwon’s Netball Representative Program is gearing up for another exciting year, with the 2025 season shaping up to be one of the most competitive yet. Over 270 athletes from across the two leagues trialed for a spot in the program, showcasing the depth of talent in the region.
The selection process was particularly competitive in the 15 & Under age group, with more than 60 players vying for a place in both leagues.
After careful consideration, 10 representative teams have been finalized, comprising five teams from each league.

This year marks a significant milestone for the program, with the introduction of 13 & Under Development teams for the first time. This addition highlights AFL Barwon’s commitment to nurturing emerging talent and providing more opportunities for young athletes to develop their skills in a competitive environment.
The Championship Teams will showcase their talent at the prestigious Barwon Junior Netball Championships, where they will compete against other league and association representative teams.
Meanwhile, the Development Teams will participate in the Geelong Central Netball Association’s Monday Night Junior Competition, an excellent platform for players to hone their skills in a structured and challenging environment.
Both Championship and Development teams will come together to represent their leagues at Netball Victoria’s Association Championships. This tournament will provide an opportunity for players to test themselves against some of the best young talent in the state, with the chance to progress to the state finals.
The program’s coaching lineup will be revealed in the new year, with anticipation already building around the experienced and dedicated mentors who will guide these talented athletes.
AFL Barwon remains committed to providing a pathway for aspiring netballers and providing opportunities for players to develop their skills at a high level.
