Prahran Netball Association Information

The Prahran Netball Association Inc. was established in 1983 and took as its slogan "Fun, Fitness and Friendship". In full co-operation with the Prahran Council, we commenced competitions on Sundays on the Cato Street car park (behind Coles in Chapel Street, Prahran). With four courts and a portable administration and 'comfort' van, competitions were initially provided for ladies only. We then added mixed, men's and junior competitions. After 5 years we established an office at the new centre and courts at Chapel-on-Chapel, with competitions on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, for mixed and ladies. Over the years we have utilised a number of indoor venues in the area, including Wesley College, Stonnington Church of Christ (Ardoch), Orrong-Romanis, Melbourne High School and, more recently, Bialik Sports Centre. In 2003 we moved administration once again, to Orrong-Romanis and from this Centre we continue to provide competitions at our established venues. From 1997 Juniors has become an integral part of the association with programs such as Net-Set-Go, Rookies, 11s, 13s and 15s, all played on Saturdays. We currently have junior representative teams in two age groups - 11/Under and 13/Under and will also have a 15/Under team in 2011. We conduct annual umpire courses and updates and we will continue to run coaching courses; taking into account the ever-increasing number of junior teams and the high demand from interested parents and teachers. Our seniors programs continue to be played in the evenings and the 17/Under grade has now become a part of our senior competitions. Prahran Netball Association Inc., is committed to provide appropriate programs and administration for its members.
