The Back Court
The Back Court is netball, but not the top of the line elite stuff. We’re talking about real netball. Deep heat, dodgy knees, last minute fill-ins and all the other unfiltered realities of playing for fun. The Back Court combines humorous observations from the world of netball, relatable anecdotes, and community stories with a tiny hint of news and analysis. With our trademark irreverence, we chronicle netball as it really is, a blend of laughs, mishaps, internal politics, and the unique camaraderie that comes with post-match pints. This is netball your Nanna wouldn’t like.
