As we start our planning and preparations for our 2027 Representative programs we would like to announce:

🏐 EXCITING PATHWAY OPPORTUNITIES FOR HERVEY BAY ATHLETES IN 2027! 💜💙

We are incredibly excited about what is ahead for netball across the Wide Bay region in 2027 and beyond!

Following discussions with Netball Queensland, Wide Bay has been given the opportunity to field 16U and 18U Wide Bay teams at the 2027 State Titles — creating an exciting new representative pathway for eligible athletes across our region.

🔥 And it doesn’t stop there!

2027 will also see the establishment of the Queensland Future Firebirds Academy – Wide Bay, providing another important development and high-performance opportunity for talented athletes within our region.

For our eligible HBNA representative athletes, this is a massive opportunity and provides a clearer pathway from:

HBNA ➡️ HBNA Representative Netball ➡️ Wide Bay 16U & 18U State Titles ➡️ Queensland Future Firebirds Academy – Wide Bay ➡️ Higher Opportunities

And this is only the beginning! 🌟

Ongoing discussions are also being held around further strengthening the Wide Bay pathway, including the possible establishment of a Wide Bay Regional Academy, as well as the potential for Wide Bay Ruby and Sapphire teams in the future.

These additional opportunities are still being explored, but they demonstrate an exciting vision for the continued growth of netball across our region.

For our HBNA athletes, the message is simple — keep working, keep developing and keep challenging yourself. The pathway is growing and so are the opportunities! 💪🏐

💜 From Hervey Bay to higher opportunities — the future is exciting!
