According to recent reports, the average salary for a professional netball player in Namibia is around $30,000 per year. However, this number can vary depending on several factors, including the player’s experience, the team they play for, and their success on the court. While this may seem like a lot of money, it’s important to remember that professional athletes in other countries, such as the United States, can earn much more. For instance, the average salary for an NBA player is over $5 million per year. So, while netball players in Namibia may be paid relatively well, they are still earning significantly less than their counterparts in other parts of the world.

This disparity in earnings is just one of the many challenges faced by professional athletes. Another is the increased pressure to perform at a high level, which can lead to burnout and mental health issues. With so much on the line, it’s no wonder that many athletes struggle to maintain healthy lifestyles both on and off the court. The average minimum player salary of contracted players will also rise, by 15 per cent, from $64,167 to $74,000.
