In recent weeks Netball Victoria has been reviewing and making changes to many of it's Leagues and Competitions around the state. The Regional Victorian Netball League (RVNL) has been run over the past few seasons in the Eastern Region bringing together Associations best talent to compete against each other in the off season. Netball Victoria has made the move to cancel RVNL for 2018 due to various factors. Part of the feedback supplied by the Eastern region affiliates was a strong support to run a competition in 2018. Based on this support and feedback there will be a new competition to be played in Gippsland that will now be known as Eastern Zone Premier Netball Competition.
In 2018 Eastern Zone Premier Netball Competition will begin in Sale and Churchill. Within this competition the most promising players, umpires, and coaches from across the region will come together to participate in an elite, high-quality competition.
The Premier Competition will become the peak representative competition for junior and senior netballers in the region. Talented netball players will have the chance to be selected in their association’s representative team, at the U/15, U/17 or Open level with competitions running in all three of these divisions. The aim of this competition is to connect the gap between grassroots netball and representative level netball. Players will have an opportunity to play with and against the best talent from the region without the barrier of traveling to Melbourne.
It will be the pinnacle of netball in the Eastern region and recognises the importance of investing in the development of young players, as well as coaches, umpires and officials.
