The netball challenge will have a round robin format followed by a play-off stage. 

There will be a fee to participate set at $1460 plus GST per team.  

Upon registering for the Challenge, a school will be issued an invoice for a deposit of $100 plus GST per team to confirm the school’s intention to participate. The deposit must be paid within fourteen days of the invoice date. Schools will be notified if their registration is successful or not following fourteen days after the closure of the registration period.

If registrations do not attain a minimum of six teams in a division, then that division will not be held at the 2026 National All Schools Netball Challenge.

Schools will need to organise their own transport to and from the Challenge, their accommodation and meals.
