Netball Australia has announced a three-year partnership extension with Gilbert, a leading supplier of netball and rugby sports equipment.

The partnership extension will see Gilbert match balls remain the ball of choice for Australian netball, being used for all international matches in Australia and the Suncorp Super Netball competition.

Gilbert will also supply its wide range of training equipment to be used across Australia, in a bid to ensure the strength and success of Australian Netball for years to come, according to Netball Australia.

Gilbert Netball Australia and New Zealand partnerships manager said the brand was proud to continue its partnership with Netball Australia.

“Netball is growing in popularity right across the country and we are excited to see what the future holds on and off the court,” Gray said.

“We hope this partnership can help make a positive impact on the sport as we emerge out of the COVID-19 pandemic,” she said.
