Originally established in 1991 by Leanne McLean, a dedicated Physical Education teacher at St Leonard’s College, our netball legacy continues to thrive.  

At SLNC, we embrace a culture of inclusivity, inviting individuals of all abilities and genders to partake in our supportive netball community. Tailored for students in Years 3 to 12, our program features teams spanning from Under 11’s to Opens. While traditionally female-dominated, our commitment extends to welcoming boys in the Under 11 and Under 13 competitions, ensuring that they can experience the joy and camaraderie of netball. 

Training sessions are held weekly in the evening in the Hawkes Sports Centre, setting the stage for our spirited matches at Sandringham on Thursdays and Saturdays.  

Netball is a dynamic and fast-paced team sport that enhances cognitive functions through quick thinking and decisive actions and contributes significantly to physical fitness, agility, and cardiovascular health. Beyond the court, the team-building dynamics of netball play a crucial role in reducing stress levels and promoting mental well-being. The emphasis on sportsmanship and creativity fosters friendships and ensures that every game is an opportunity for fun and camaraderie. 

Whether your child is a seasoned player or just discovering the sport, our netball program celebrates athleticism and the joy of being part of a dynamic team.
