The Back Court is netball, but not the top of the line elite stuff. We’re talking about real netball. Deep heat, dodgy knees, last minute fill-ins and all the other unfiltered realities of playing for fun. The Back Court combines humorous observations from the world of netball, relatable anecdotes, and community stories with a tiny hint of news and analysis. With our trademark irreverence, we chro... more

  • Really poor

    This podcast is bad. The male host is arrogant, not funny, often rude/offensive, and appears to know little about netball, so I’m not sure what the point of the show is. I actually don’t think he likes netball.

    There’s actually very little netball talk in the episodes, and if there, it’s not offering any analysis or news that fans wouldn’t already know. If the aim is bringing in new netball fans, I highly doubt it’s doing that either.

    Also, your tagline ‘Nanna’ is grammatically incorrect.

  • Good stuff

    It’s good stuff. Funny. Don’t listen to the reviews from the haters. You can get your deeper analysis somewhere else and this fits a nice niche

  • Okay - not great netball analysis

    i think this is the official netball australia podcast? at least it’s advertised that way. from a podcast like that i’d love more netball analysis about the games, what happened who played well etc. there’s about 5 minutes of that and then there’s fluff - for the other 40 minutes which is agonising. i really don’t care about a random netball league in victoria. i’d love something like new zealand’s inside netball where they interview players and critically analyse their games.
