What would be a good Netball post for at home?
At Newitts.com you can shop with confidence when searching for the right netball post for you!
There are different types of posts that you can get for your school, club or garden.
The type of post depends on the version of the game that is being played:
• Freestanding netball posts can be used for training, junior competition and recreational garden play.
• Floor fixed netball posts are the ideal for solution for indoor courts that are unable to have ground sockets installed.
• Socketed netball posts are ideal for County leagues and any higher levels of competition. Sockets and nets are included.
The official rules require posts set at a height of 10ft (3.05m), with a ring that has an internal diameter of 15 inches. A net and post padding are also required.
We have a comprehensive range at Newitts.com, which are all competitively priced. We have listed below 3 we would recommend for use at home.
Our top 3 picks:
1. The Net1 ® Portable Netball System is ideal for garden and recreational use.

Additional Information
Please be advised over the winter period, if using water in the base of NET1 netball systems, anti-freeze must be added as per the instruction manual. If this is not done, the water will freeze, expand and often lead to the base cracking. Alternatively, bases can be filled with sand, which is suitable all year round.

The Urban Pro Netball Post Telescopic is designed to a pro-level match play standard with a regulation size 15" hoop in thick 16mm steel and adjusts in height from 2.4m to the official height of 3.05m. The professional Goose Neck System steps the player away from the stand and prevents the base from encroaching onto the court. The heavy duty box steel pole design with premium sand coating provides extra strength and enhanced rust-resistance for long lasting outdoor use all year round. The portable design features support braces for ultimate strength while the wheels allow for very easy transportation. The thick static hoop will not move when hit by the ball and features a UV stable net for weather protection, offering a premium stand for serious players to practice and polish their skills.
