I recently attended the inaugural season launch for the Norwood Netball Club, which will be competing for the first time in Netball South Australia's 2026 Hospital Research Foundation Group Premier League competition. As a netball tragic who still tries to play in my local masters competition—masters in age only, not skill level—I was honoured to be able to support the club at their season launch.

Netball remains the No. 1 sport for women and girls in this country, and the Norwood Netball Club's Premier League squad will be playing in a highly skilled and highly sought after competition. The Netball SA Premier League competition is the highest level of netty in South Australia, and it is the pathway for players to national competitions, the Suncorp Super Netball league and to join the mighty Adelaide Thunderbirds.

One day, maybe some players from the Norwood Netball Club will even play for the Australian Diamonds, and if they are at the peak of their career in 2032 when Australia hosts the Olympics in Brisbane, maybe we'll even see the Norwood Netball Club representing Australia in the 2032 Olympics. Let's get netball into the Olympics 2032.

I know that, under the leadership of co-captains Sienna Burns and Millie Cordy and coach Lee-Anne Cummins, the team will do their utmost best for the Norwood Netball Club in their inaugural season. So bring on the season! Good luck players. Let's win the flag.
