This week on Off The Posts: Scarletts Edition, Georgi and Leanne are celebrating the heart of netball — grassroots sport. From first sessions and rainy match days to lifelong friendships and decade-long playing careers, this episode explores how grassroots clubs don’t just create players… they create players for life.

Together, they discuss the huge impact community sport has on people of all ages, why positive early experiences matter so much, and how grassroots netball helps girls and women build confidence, resilience, friendships, and belonging both on and off the court.

In this episode we chat about:
✨ Why grassroots sport is the foundation of the game
✨ The powerful benefits of sport for teenage girls
✨ How netball supports women’s mental health and wellbeing
✨ The role of community, inclusion, and enjoyment in keeping players involved long-term
✨ The challenges grassroots clubs are currently facing, from rising costs to volunteer shortages
✨ Why there are so many ways to stay involved in sport beyond just playing
✨ Long-term friendships, loyalty, and the players who helped shape Scarletts over the years

Plus, we celebrate our incredible long-serving Scarletts players in Scarletts Shoutouts, tackle another Pass, Shoot, Stand Out of Play, and reflect on what makes a truly great netball club in Same Game, Different Netball.

Because grassroots netball is about so much more than the scoreline — it’s about connection, confidence, community, and keeping ball in hand for years to come. 🫶
