The Bank Windhoek Schools Netball Super League creates an additional platform for the top netball teams (first teams) to participate and compete in more matches which creates an incentive for schools in the national league to improve their performance. The intention of this league is to develop netball as an important national sport, starting at school level.
The Bank Windhoek Schools Netball Super League is endorsed by the NSSU and as a result, the top eight teams of the NSSU netball league automatically qualify for the Super League.
The winning schools will win netball equipment for their respective schools, sponsored by Bank Windhoek.
