The design reflects Jarnda’s lifelong journey with netball, from when she was five years old in Broome playing NetSetGo to now.
Jardna’s journey includes her involvement with Shooting Stars, shaping her love for the game and community. She said her design connects to Netball WA’s values of inclusivity, community, excellence and empowerment.
“It represents a space where everyone is welcome, where culture and sport unite and where the next generation of players are inspired to grow both on and off the court.”
Jarnda chose colours for the design to represent both the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island flags, celebrating culture and identity.
“The flowing pathways and patterns symbolise people coming together, with the raw talent of players shining through at NAIDOC Competitions.”
The NAIDOC Ball will be used for the first time tonight at the Gold Industry Group WA Netball League First Nations Round and will continue to be used at other First Nations Carnivals throughout the year.
Thank you to the Insurance Commission of Western Australia, promoting the Belt Up message for your support in the 2026 NAIDOC ball design competition.
