Happy Feet: Why Foot Health Matters in Netball

Strong netball starts from the ground up — and in this episode of Off the Posts: Scarletts Edition, we’re talking all things feet.

Georgi is joined by Scarletts player and podiatrist Steph Owen from SO Podiatry, proud sponsors of our juniors Sonics, for a brilliant deep dive into foot health in netball. From common foot and ankle injuries to the importance of wearing the right trainers and socks at grassroots level, this episode is packed with practical advice for players, parents, and coaches alike.

We cover:

• The most common foot injuries netballers experience

• Why correct footwear matters — especially for juniors

• How a podiatrist can support netball performance and injury prevention

• What trainers Scarletts players are actually wearing on court

Whether you’re a junior just starting out, a parent buying yet another pair of trainers, or a player trying to stay pain-free, this episode will help keep you moving comfortably and confidently.

A huge thank you to Steph and SO Podiatry for supporting our club and helping keep our players on their feet — literally.
