Netball Posts Built for Australian Courts. Aluminium or Steel. Brisbane Made.
Grand Slam netball posts are permanently installed goal posts manufactured in Brisbane for schools, clubs, councils, and recreation facilities across Australia. Available in aluminium or steel, both options are Netball Australia compliant and World Netball compliant — built to the standard required for competition play, not just recreational use. With over 30 years supplying netball equipment to facilities including the Sydney Olympics and Melbourne Commonwealth Games, Grand Slam is the benchmark for permanent netball infrastructure in Australia.
Choose aluminium for a lightweight, anti-rotation post with Grand Slam's patent-pending LOCKIT system — the preferred choice for state netball centres and high-use competition courts. Choose steel for a heavy-duty, galvanised option that suits all court surfaces and all levels of play. Both are available with or without safety post padding.
📦 Included with every post
Grand Slam netball post (aluminium or steel) · regulation netball ring · net · ground sleeve · all fixings · safety post padding (if selected)
Netball Clubs Running Graded CompetitionClubs that need Netball Australia compliant posts for graded competition — permanent, regulation height, with a solid ring and proper net tie system. The aluminium post with LOCKIT system is the standard used in state netball centres. The steel post suits clubs at all levels of play on any court surface.
Schools with Permanent Netball CourtsPrimary and secondary schools that need permanently installed netball posts for school sport, inter-school competition, and PE. Posts are sleeved into the court surface — no maintenance between seasons, no setup before every session. Safety padding is strongly recommended for all school installations.
Councils and Recreation CentresCommunity recreation facilities, outdoor courts, and council-managed sports precincts that need permanent netball infrastructure built to withstand high public use and minimal maintenance. The steel post's galvanised construction is particularly well suited to outdoor public courts exposed to all weather.
Queensland Buyers Wanting Local Supply and SupportGrand Slam is manufactured in Brisbane. Queensland clubs, schools, and councils get shorter lead times, local warranty support, and posts engineered specifically for Australian conditions.

30+ years supplying Australian netball — including the OlympicsGrand Slam has been manufacturing netball posts in Brisbane for over 30 years, supplying state netball centres, the Sydney Olympics, the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, and facilities across Australia and the Pacific. When reliability matters — for competition, for safety, for longevity — Grand Slam is the proven choice.
Patent-pending LOCKIT system — no post movement during playThe aluminium post's LOCKIT system eliminates post-to-sleeve movement — the frustrating wobble and rotation that affects lesser posts during play. It's a genuine engineering solution to a problem every club knows, not a marketing claim.
Netball Australia and World Netball compliant — both optionsWhether you choose aluminium or steel, both posts meet Netball Australia and World Netball compliance requirements. Clubs running graded competition and schools competing in state associations can use either post with confidence.
Manufactured in Brisbane — built for Australian conditionsEvery post is engineered and manufactured in Brisbane to Australian standards — not imported and rebranded. Local manufacture means faster lead times, accessible warranty support, and posts built for the conditions they'll actually operate in.
Safety padding available — custom colours and printingGrand Slam safety post padding is manufactured in Brisbane from medium-density foam wrapped in heavy-duty, wipe-clean, UV-stabilised vinyl. Standard colour is light grey — custom colours and printed padding are available for clubs wanting to match team colours or add sponsor branding.
Installation coordinated nationallyPermanent netball posts require a ground sleeve installed into the court surface. Club Captain coordinates installation through our national installer network — installation cost and timeline confirmed upfront in your quote.
Grant Funding — We Handle It End to End
Permanent netball posts are regularly funded through Sport Australia's Sporting Schools programme, state sport and recreation grants, and local council community infrastructure funding. Netball is one of Australia's most participated-in sports — funding bodies actively support infrastructure that makes the game more accessible for clubs and schools.
Club Captain helps you find the right grant, scope the application, and submit with confidence. We provide itemised quotes formatted for grant applications, school purchase orders, and committee approval — installation included.

Which post should I choose — aluminium or steel?
For indoor competition courts, state centres, and high-use facilities where post stability and light weight are the priority — choose aluminium. The LOCKIT system is a genuine advantage for courts where posts are inserted and removed regularly. For outdoor community courts, school grounds, and any installation where the posts will remain in the sleeve permanently — steel is the durable, cost-effective choice. Call us on 1300 715 818 if you need help deciding.
Are these posts Netball Australia compliant?
Yes — both aluminium and steel posts are Netball Australia compliant and World Netball compliant. Suitable for all graded competition from junior club level through to state competition.
Is safety padding mandatory?
Netball Australia requires safety padding to be fitted to all posts and obstructions that extend into the playing area. It's not optional for competition — it's a compliance requirement. Grand Slam post padding is available in standard light grey or custom colours and can be added at the time of order.
Do you organise installation?
Yes — Club Captain coordinates installation through our national installer network. The ground sleeve needs to be installed into your court surface before the post is fitted. Installation cost and timeline are confirmed upfront in your quote.
