Due to the concern relating to the potential community spread of COVID-19, NSW Health issued new guidelines which included the advice to avoid large, inter-regional championships and Netball NSW determined it would be irresponsible to proceed with the State Titles.

The competition was set to be held across a number of suburbs in Western Sydney.

Netball NSW CEO Carolyn Campbell said the health of the wider community had to come first in 2020.

"Players, coaches, umpires, officials and parents would all be well aware that Netball NSW has held on to the hope of conducting the State Titles in 2020, maintaining an air of positivity that the re-scheduled October dates would enable the competitions to proceed," she said.

"Regrettably the time has come for us to concede that this won't be possible.

"It goes without saying that this was not a decision taken lightly and we feel deeply sorry for those who had been planning for, and working so hard towards this year's event, but we look forward to 2021 with renewed hope and will focus all our efforts on that going forward.

"For now, we are fortunate that regular competitions have been able to commence and we thank the netball community for their ongoing commitment to the health and safety protocols those competitions are running under."
