They were in Bendigo on Wednesday, hosting a clinic with Lightning Reef Primary School students.
Students from multicultural backgrounds took part in the one-hour session.
Netball Victoria community engagement and legacy officer Zoe Small said Social Inclusion Week was an important initiative.
She said the aim of the week was to connect people of any age and background.
Teacher Christine Perry said the girls were inspired by the visit.
"These students were non-English speaking Karen refugees when they came to the school and they had never played netball before," she said.
"They then started playing with our school netball team on the weekends and it has built from there.
"They are incredibly talented."
