The revamped Netball Super League will introduce a two-goal Super Shot for the 2025 season to help “supercharge the game”.
The new regulation will allow teams to take two field goal kicks in the final five minutes of each of the four quarters from a special area, the outer edge of the shooting circle.
The rule, which was introduced for the first time in 2020 in Australia’s Suncorp Super Netball division, will be part of every Super League match.
It will also be posted during the last three minutes of each quarter The one-day Netball Super Bowl opens on March 8, a week before the NSL kicks off on March 15.
While the Super Shot is in effect, shooters can still make one-goal shots from the shooting circle closer to the net.
The introduction of the Super Shot is among a number of innovations, others to be revealed in due course.
Netball Super League CEO Claire Nelson said: “As we enter a new era in the NSL, we are excited to announce this exciting new rule that will enhance the fans’ game experience.
“The introduction of Super Shot will be a fantastic showcase of the incredible skill and athleticism of our powerful female athletes and will elevate our game to a whole new level of excitement.
“This innovation is guaranteed to be a huge conversation piece, creating a fantastic buzz around our sport and we can’t wait to see how it elevates the competition in the coming season.”
