The Singlife National League 2025 is officially underway and shaping up to be the biggest edition in the tournament’s history, with a record 94 teams competing, underlining the continued growth of netball in Singapore.

This year’s competition features 82 teams in the Women’s Open category, 12 in the Mixed category, and six age-group teams from Netball Singapore’s U17 and U19 developmental squads. This surpasses last year’s tally of 86 teams and reflects a vibrant, evolving ecosystem that spans recreational players to future national athletes.

New to Division 1 of the Singlife Nations Cup is Maverixx Elite, which recently captured the Women’s Open title at the Daisy Tan Carnival. Featuring several former national players, including Charmaine Soh and Kimberly Lim who have earned over 100 caps for Singapore, the team made its top-division debut yesterday and has set its sights on competing in future editions of the Deloitte Netball Super League. This season presents a key opportunity for the team to test itself against some of Singapore’s top clubs, including teams currently in the Netball Super League.

Additionally, the Singlife National League continues to offer valuable match exposure for younger players as part of Netball Singapore’s efforts to develop emerging talents. Division 2 will feature the U19 Tertiary and U19 Schools teams, while Division 3 includes four U17 regional teams – North, South, East, and West – providing a structured, competitive platform for players across the country to showcase their potential.

Beyond high-performance, the league also celebrates netball’s strong social community. Competing in Division 7 – the lowest tier of the competition – are two teams from NET4MUMS, which is a social recreational initiative that welcomes players of all levels. Founded in 2016 for mothers of Singapore Netball Academy players, NET4MUMS has since evolved into an open club for women aged 35 to 55+ who want to stay active and continue enjoying the sport. Their participation underscores the inclusive spirit of the Singlife National League and reflects how netball provides a positive outlet for fitness, friendship, and community for women of all ages.
