Netball X isn't just another netball camp or coaching conference. It's a different approach to development, bringing players, coaches and umpires together in one dynamic learning environment, where knowledge is shared, perspectives are challenged and everyone has the opportunity to find their X Factor. 

Created by the North Queensland Netball Academy, Netball X was born from a simple belief: great development doesn't happen in isolation. 

Players need great coaches.
Coaches need to understand their athletes.
Umpires need opportunities to develop their skills, confidence and game management. 

And all three benefit when they understand the game through each other's eyes. 

Across three action-packed days, Netball X combines expert-led practical sessions, specialist workshops, elite mentors, interactive learning and real-game application. From technical and tactical development to physical preparation, mindset, communication and leadership, every element is designed to challenge thinking and build capability. 

But what makes Netball X different is what happens when those streams come together. The conversations. The shared experiences. The opportunity to learn from people who see the same game from different perspectives. 

Whether you're an emerging player finding your feet, an ambitious athlete pursuing higher honours, a coach committed to improving your craft or an umpire ready to take the next step, Netball X is about giving you the knowledge, confidence and connections to move forward. It's not about promising selection, shortcuts or instant success. 

It's about creating an environment where people are inspired to learn, empowered to take ownership of their development and challenged to raise their standards.

Because stronger players, better coaches and
more confident umpires
build a stronger netball community.
This is Netball X.
Your next step starts here.

Who can attend Netball X??

Netball X welcomes players, coaches and umpires at different stages of their development. We offer four streams: Development Players (12+), Performance Players (13+), Coaches and Umpires. Each stream has specific eligibility guidelines outlined on its package page. All genders are welcome.

What's the difference between Day and Residential packages?

Both options include the complete three-day development program, Friday evening event, workshops, learning resources and daytime catering. Residential adds two nights' twin-share accommodation, additional meals and an exclusive Coaches Panel Q&A. Residential places are strictly limited, and participants must be at least 14 years old on 15 January 2027.

How do payment and registration work?

A 50% deposit is required when booking, with the balance due by 10 January 2027. Registrations made on or after that date require full payment. Places are limited and subject to eligibility, availability and confirmation by NQNA. Please review our full Registration, Payment & Cancellation Policy before booking.

When and where is Netball X being held??

Netball X takes place from 15–17 January 2027 in Townsville, North Queensland, with activities based at Townsville Stadium. Detailed arrival times, schedules and participant information will be provided before the event.

Do I need to be an elite player, coach or umpire to attend?

No! Netball X is about development, not just current ability. Our streams cater for different experience levels, from emerging players and developing coaches to performance-focused athletes and experienced umpires. Some streams have specific entry requirements, so please check the relevant package before registering.

What happens if I register but can no longer attend?

Refunds are generally not available for change of mind or voluntary non-attendance, except where required by law. For illness, injury or exceptional misadventure, a full refund may be available if your place is filled from the waiting list. Otherwise, an NQNA service credit of up to 50% may apply, subject to our policy and Australian Consumer Law.
