Netball Club
The College has an extremely successful Netball Club. Our Club provides the opportunity for players and the College community to participate in netball while developing long-lasting friendships, teamwork, building self-confidence and high self-esteem and fostering a sense of achievement and pride in the College.
Our teams participate in the Northern Gold Coast Netball Association (NGCNA) competition and play at Runaway Bay netball courts each Saturday (game times are dependent on each age group). Each year we enter teams in the following age groups:
NetSetGO Program*: U7 – U10
Junior Teams: U11 – U13
Junior and Senior Intermediate Divisions: U14 – U18
* Suncorp NetSetGO is Netball Australia’s only junior entry netball program. It provides players aged 5 to 10 years with the best possible learning and playing experience to develop a positive introduction to netball, ensuring enjoyment and continued participation. Our Club enters teams in the NetSetGO competition for players in teams aged Under 7 to Under 10.
