I believe the answer is:

wagga wagga

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'riverina town with netballer running' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'two directions twice' is the wordplay.
'two directions' becomes 'wagga' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'twice' shows that letters should be duplicated.
'wagga' duplicated is 'WAGGA WAGGA'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wagga wagga that I've seen before include "city in Australia?" , "town in Australia" .)
