🖤✨ TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT | 2026 NET BLACKS ✨🖤

The moment we've been waiting for is here!

We are incredibly proud and honoured to announce our 2026 Net Blacks Team for the upcoming series. 🌿🏐

To wear the Silver Fern is a privilege that represents dedication, pride, commitment, and excellence. These athletes have earned the opportunity to represent not only our team but the values that the Silver Fern stands for.

These athletes have earned the opportunity to wear the fern with mana, to compete with heart, and to uphold the legacy of the Net Blacks both on and off the court.

Today, we celebrate not only their selection but also the journey, sacrifice, and dedication that brought them here.

Ēhara tāku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini
(my strength is not that of a single warrior, but that of many)

Wishing the best of luck to our Netball Waitākere Member Schools, gearing up to compete in UNISS next week, hosted by our friends at Hamilton Netball Centre 🫶

Go well & Go hard Rangatahi mā!
