NETBALL POST

The official specifications for standard netball rings from Netball Australia are:

Goal Post

•  Post height: 3.05m (2.4m modified netball)


•  Post diameter: Standard 65mm
•  Ring: 380mm internal diameter 15mm steel rod
However, the specifications vary depending on the age of your netball players. This is where
an adjustable netball goal post comes in handy. A goal post with an adjustable ring is essential if
you plan on organizing groups of adults or children of different ages, not all of whom may be
able to cope with a 3-metre tall ring.

For the different age groups, allow the netball ring to be at the height of at least:
 244 cm for children between the age of 7 and 9;
 305 cm for adults and professional players.

Post Padding

It is highly recommended to install post padding on your Netball posts for obvious safety reasons. In
fact, most schools, clubs and councils are obliged by law to cover all exposed sports equipment with
padding to protect players.

Padding can vary in height – however, according to Netball Victoria, it is a requirement that post
padding be full height for public competitions:
Difference between indoor  and outdoor netball posts

OUTDOOR
The main consideration when it comes to outdoor netball goals is that they need to
withstand the weather. For permanent installations, 76mm diameter poles provide rigidity and
are robust for outdoor use.
It’s very important that your sports equipment meets minimum manufacturing
requirements – particularly if you are supplying to schools. For example, Education Queensland
has strict specifications for sports equipment. Before purchasing your sports equipment, it pays
to double check they meet legal manufacturing requirements. Otherwise, you could unfortunately
be liable for any issues that may arise.

Additionally, a lot of suppliers do not hot dip galvanise prior to powder coating, meaning
they are not adequately protected from corrosion (and safety issues that could arise from this). So
insist on high quality protection when purchasing your sports equipment to save yourself hassle
down the track.
Grand Slam’s netball equipment is thoroughly reviewed and tested to ensure it exceeds
safety requirements. All our sports equipment is engineered for strength and reliability and is
designed and built to meet the most rigorous safety and quality standard.
INDOOR
Indoor netball posts are designed to be robust, however it is kept in mind that they are
often installed on multi-purpose courts. This means there is often a need for them to be removed
to make room for other sports equipment. This means they need to be lighter and more
manageable to put into storage regularly.
