Netball NSW's Riverina regional manager, Amanda McLachlan said team numbers were well up on last year.

"We had 58 for the primary schools which was huge, that's bigger than the primary and secondary numbers combined for Albury," she said.

"And 28 for the secondary is another big number, it's good to see schools slowly getting back into sport post COVID.

"More boys are participating, schools are pushing for mixed teams in primary school and boys teams in secondary, which is great."

Teams at the Riverina region stage will compete for the chance to progress to the state titles in Sydney later this year.
