Netball Super League introduces the two-goal Super Shot

The Netball Super League will introduce the two-goal Super Shot for all games in the 2025 season.

As the Netball Super League (NSL) relaunches in 2025 at the start of a ten-year professionalisation journey, a series of new rules and innovations are set to be introduced.

Bringing additional excitement and jeopardy to the game and creating more matches that will keep fans on the edge of their seats, a two-goal Super Shot will be introduced for the upcoming season which starts in March 2025. This new rule, which was first introduced to elite netball in Australia’s Suncorp Super Netball league in 2020, will allow teams to score two-goal shots by scoring from a dedicated area within the outer edge of the shooting circle during the last five minutes of each quarter in every match. Whilst the Super Shot is in play, shooters can still also score one-goal shots from the area of the shooting circle that is closer to the net.

The introduction of the Super Shot will support the League’s ambition to create closer, more competitive matches by allowing teams the opportunity to score multiple goals quickly at the end of every quarter, keeping fans on the edge of their seats until the final whistle is blown. The Super Shot will also be in play during the final three minutes of every half at the inaugural Netball Super Cup, the exciting new one-day competition that will be held at Sheffield’s Utilita Arena on 8 March 2025. The Super Shot rule will apply to the NSL only, and not the NXT Gen League which sits underneath.

Discussing the introduction of the Super Shot, Claire Nelson, NSL Managing Director said: “As we enter a new era for the NSL, we are thrilled to announce this exciting new rule >span class="NormalTextRun SCXW105116869 BCX8">will enhance fans’ experiences of the game. Developed in consultation with our key stakeholders and driven by our commitment to creating a product that is captivating, competitive and will attract more fans than ever before to buy tickets and tune in to watch the NSL, the introduction of the Super Shot will be a fantastic showcase of the incredible skill and athleticism of our powerful female athletes and will supercharge our game to a whole new level of excitement.
