Kingston`s coach Tania McNear remains confident as netball`s popularity surges in Australia ahead of the 2025 season.

The 2025 Tasmanian Netball League Round 4 match between South East Suns and Kingston unfolded on March 1, 2025, showcasing the competitive spirit of both teams. Kingston coach Tania McNear expressed her unwavering confidence in her squad`s potential to remain title contenders despite a challenging start to the season. The match was streamed live, drawing attention as both teams aimed to secure a crucial victory to ignite their campaigns.

As the 2025 netball season approaches its official start in April, participation is expected to soar, with over 1,000,000 players anticipated, solidifying netball`s status as the most popular sport for girls and women in Australia. Notably, netball is also emerging as the fastest-growing sport for boys and men, according to AUSPLAY data. However, a recent ASICS study highlighted that nearly half of children abandon team sports by their teenage years, often due to school pressures and feelings of inadequacy.

In preparation for the upcoming season, psychologist Meg McClurg provided valuable insights for parents and coaches, emphasizing the importance of fostering confidence in young athletes. The Netball Super League is set to make a comeback, with Australians playing pivotal roles in the eight teams competing in the 2025 season. Fans can look forward to the Melbourne Vixens facing GIANTS Netball on April 13, 2025, at John Cain Arena, with the match available for viewing on KayoFree and FOXTEL.
