2026 Male Paticipation Update

We are pleased to share the recent decision by WDNA to create a mixed division for players 16 years and older in 2026.

Male participation across other age groups will continue in line with the existing WDNA rules.

The rules passed at the WDNA AGM and subsequent General Meeting on Wednesday 26th November 2025 are as follows:

Any number of male players may be on court, in any position, for Playing Groups up to and including 12 Years (existing rule)
A maximum of three male players, one in each third, may be on court at any one time, for the 13 Years Playing Group (existing rule).
A maximum of one male player may be on court at any one time for 14/15 Years Player Group (existing rule)
Males 16 years and above must participate in the mixed division. Standard mixed rules apply.
Females 16 years and above may be registered into a mixed team and/or a female team for the same WDNA & NQ fee

This means that female players who are 16 years and older will be able to play in both the female and mixed competitions as part of one registration (i.e. at no extra cost).

This is a great way to build male participation in netball and continue to support female participation in competitive and social sport, and to provide these players with a choice in whether they participate in a mixed competition.

What next?

The rules governing male participation at WDNA are determined by the WDNA Boardand delegates from all clubs across the association. As a club, we will continueto engage in these developments, consistent with our values while also being mindful of what we have heard from our members.

Rangers will be seeking to register teams in the 16 years+ mixed competition in 2026 and encourage our female players to consider playing in eitherthe female and/or mixed competitions and to help spread the word about the upcoming mixed competition among their peers.
