Happy New Year to our Bullants’ community. With school returning, we’re sharing an update on our 2026 Winter registrations.
Setting up the 2026 season
Last winter, Bullants fielded 345 players across 35 teams – up from 27 teams only 3 years ago. We love the opportunity we provide the community to be involved in netball, but this growth also puts pressure on the high bar we set to support our players, coaches and umpires.
Our 2025 survey showed very strong satisfaction with almost 9 in 10 respondents saying they’d recommend Bullants. Your feedback also highlighted areas where we can strengthen – and that’s guiding our approach this year.
This year’s registrations will look a little different
Registrations will open next week; first to existing Bullants members. A couple of days later, once our community has had the chance to register, we will open to the public.
We will close registrations once our participant numbers reach last year’s numbers. This will ensure we deliver the quality we expect for the number of teams we have. A waitlist will remain open, and additional teams may be offered if volunteers are available.
