Netball is often compared to basketball and is popular among ladies as it is a fast, no contact sport. In this game, there are two teams, both on each side of the net and have 7 members each and have 4 teams per age group. The main problem of the game is that there is no court space for games and matches of netball.
Basically the below mentioned leading sports ball companies deal with manufacturing of Netball:
Mitre
Gilbert
Molten
Sure shot
Plus a few own label brands.
Among all these the top ones are Mitre and Gilbert, while the companies such as Molten and Sure Shot, are relatively new to the market.
Mitre has been supplying professional match balls for Netball Matches. They also supply The Co op National Superleague. The other leading sports ball company, Gilbert, sponsor the national teams of Wales, Scotland, Australia and New Zealand and are the official ball suppliers to International Federation of Netball Associations.
Mitre Venturi Pro is the most popular size 5 match ball, due to its use in the Superleague. With its high quality exterior emboss grip, it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor usage. Gripsure is the top ranking ball by Gilberts available in both 4 and 5 sizes.
The grips of the trainee Netballs are different as they are slightly bigger than the ones used on matches and some say that latest technology can improve their performances. You can also find a number of training balls in the market, rather than match balls, of different colours which include high retention latex bladder or super bladder for longer bladder reliability, ensuring the balls last longer.
Most Netball is of size 4 and 5. Size 4 for ages 11 and and a size 5 for others. Similarly the price differs for training balls which is about 6 while the match balls being 16 to 30.
In the UK Netball scene Molten and Sure shot supply professional match balls. Don't spend much money on sponsors or marketing as Molten and Sure shot are cheaper and also produce balls with better quality. If you are planning to buy the balls I will recommend you to buy in bulk as you will get it in good price. This facility is available online and the price starts with a 5 balls purchase.
