Bummers: The Netball Shorts Players Trust on Court

If you’ve spent any time around the netball community, you’ve probably heard the word bummers. For many players, bummers are simply the go-to netball shorts worn under uniforms or during training.

They’re designed to provide coverage, comfort and confidence while moving on court. Netball is a fast and explosive sport — constant jumping, pivoting and quick changes of direction mean players need gear that stays in place and moves with them.

That’s where bummers come in.

Why Netballers Love Wearing Bummers

For many players, wearing bummers has become part of their regular netball routine. They offer a smooth, supportive layer that helps you feel secure during the game.

Whether you're contesting a rebound, sprinting into space or landing from a jump, having fitted shorts underneath your uniform can make a noticeable difference. When you feel comfortable in what you’re wearing, you play more freely.

At Bumrs, we created our bummers specifically with netball in mind — because the demands of the sport are unique.

Designed for Movement and Confidence

The best bummers should feel supportive without feeling restrictive. They should stay in place, move naturally with your body and feel comfortable through every quarter of the game.

Our Bumrs Netball Shorts, often referred to as bummers within the community, are designed with exactly that balance in mind. With a secure fold-over waistband that doesn’t dig in and a soft four-way stretch fabric, they’re made to move with you.

The result is a smooth, supportive feel that allows players to focus entirely on their performance.

Not Just for Game Day

One of the reasons players love bummers is their versatility. They’re not only worn under a netball dress — they’re also perfect for training sessions, warm-ups or recovery days.

Many players train in their bummers throughout the week and rely on them during competition because they already know how they feel in motion. That familiarity builds confidence when it’s time to step onto the court.

It’s the kind of piece that quickly becomes a staple in your netball kit.

Comfort That Lasts Through the Whole Game

Netball games can be intense, especially during tournaments or back-to-back matches. That’s why comfort matters.

Bumrs bummers are designed with soft, moisture-wicking fabric that helps keep players comfortable throughout the game. The material stretches with your movement while maintaining a supportive feel.

When your gear works with you instead of against you, it becomes one less thing to think about on court.

Built for the Netball Community

At Bumrs, everything we create is inspired by the netball community. From training gear to match-day pieces, our goal is to support players at every level of the game.

Our bummers were designed for real netball movement — for pivots, sprints, rebounds and everything in between. Whether you're heading to training, preparing for a big game or just enjoying time on the court, they’re made to help you feel confident and comfortable.

Because when you feel good in what you're wearing, you play like it.
