Female junior teams from football netball clubs across the south-west will face off in under 13, under 15 and under 17 competitions.
The Challenge, which involves full-length matches, will run each Thursday until mid-March. Game times are 4.30pm and 5.30pm.
Across the weeks, clubs will gain points in numerous ways such as for wins, umpires supplied and proper uniform.
The club with the most points overall will take home the coveted shield.
The points system means a club that doesn't have a team in a grand final, in any grade, can still take out the major prize.
Koroit Football Netball Club from the Hampden league won it last year.
The association's walking netball program is also back at 6.30pm (new time) on Thursday night.

That season started in October and runs until March.
