Annelise Hall, an athlete who shines in three different sports has been named Elite Sports Person of the Year at the 2025 Wests Sports Council awards.
Netball, NRLW, and basketball – they’re the three sports Hall is really good at.
She currently plays as a defender in the Camden Division 1 Metro League Netball team and was selected as a training partner for the Panthers Premier League Netball team, making her Opens debut in May 2025.
Annelise’s netball journey began with the Campbelltown junior representative program, gaining representative honours by the time she was just 15 years of age.
From 2021 to 2023, Hall was part of the South West Sydney Academy of Sport netball program.
Her versatility extends to indoor netball, where she represented NSW in 2023 and 2024 in the mixed teams, earning selection in the Australian indoor netball team both years.
Annelise represented Camden Netball Association in the Metro League during 2023 and 2024, competing in the U17s state titles, and was identified by selectors in the 2023 Talent ID Program.
In 2024, Annelise signed with Excel Sports Management, further cementing her status as one of the region’s most promising young athletes. She is pictured on the netball court above.
