Ballarat holds 36 points on the 2026 BFNL senior netball ladder, level with Darley and behind Sebastopol on 40 points. The Ballarat Football Netball Club, established in 1860, remains one of the competition's longest-running sides and plays home games at Alfredton Recreation Reserve.
Why the ladder position matters now
The 2026 season continues with multiple rounds left, keeping the top teams separated by narrow margins. Ballarat's position reflects steady results across the campaign, placing the side in contention for later stages. The club's history as the third-oldest continually running football club in Australia adds context to its ongoing participation in the BFNL.
Local venues and competitions
Alfredton Recreation Reserve serves as the home ground for the Ballarat Football Netball Club. Separate local action includes the amateur FV Greater Ballarat League 1 soccer competition, where Ballarat SC leads with 24 points after nine matches, ahead of Forest Rangers on 20 points.
