This week we take a deep dive into men’s netball and discuss the challenges boys and men face to play the sport we all love.

Our special guests are Australian Sonix player and elite coach Eugene Lee and former NSW player and director of the first men’s netball doco — Rising to Occasion — due to be released later in the year.

We also analyse all the action from RD6 and ponder whether fatigue might be setting in for some teams at the midway point of the competition.

Gungarri woman and former international umpire Stacey Campton is one of Australia's key Indigenous figures in netball.

During her 14-year career at the top, she umpired at World Championships and Commonwealth Games. Since 2021, Stacey has been working as Netball Australia's high performance umpire coach.

Ahead of Super Netball's First Nations Round this weekend, she joins The Netty Life podcast to talk about her family story and netball journey.

Stacey also discusses how she believes we can encourage more Indigenous umpires up through the state pathways to the elite level.

The Australian Men’s Netball Team will be back in action next week, facing New Zealand for the first time since 2018.

The side have had limited opportunities to play international netball during the pandemic, but there has been a lot of interest and momentum building in the domestic men’s space this year.

We catch up with captain Dylan Nexhip to hear his thoughts ahead of their return to court and his hopes for men’s netball beyond this historic tour – which will include double header matches alongside the Aussie Diamonds for the first time.
