Saturday games are played at the WDNA courts, located off Cassinia Ave in Ashwood. Players need to arrive at the courts 15 minutes prior to the start of their game to allow time for warming up and assigning positions. Unless advised earlier, in the event of inclement weather players must still arrive on time and wait for WDNA's formal decision as to whether to cancel play.  The decision to cancel a game can be made a very short time prior to the scheduled game. 

All training is held at St Dominic's Primary School on TUESDAYS after school. Training is compulsory for all primary school aged players. Group training is available for players in years 7 onwards, however it is optional.

Training for all primary school aged players runs from 

3:45pm to 4:30pm

Optional group training for Years 7 onwards runs from 

4:15pm to 5:15pm

It is very important that players attend training and arrive on time. For a team to be successful, they need to practise drills and set plays together. Training should build fitness, develop skills and above all else - be fun! Out of respect for both the coaches and other teammates, if for some reason you are unable to make it to training, please inform your Team Manager through your team chat.

SDNC is able to offer two different uniform options:

Option 1 is a traditional netball dress for girls, with Velcro inserts for stick on bibs.

Option 2 is a singlet top (again with Velcro for stick on bibs), which needs to be matched with a pair of black shorts with no pockets.

The club often maintains a supply of various sizes for purchase, but in the event your size is not available, it may take up to 6 weeks for new orders to be fulfilled by our supplier.

Please contact our uniform coordinator with any questions you may have, or if you would like to place an order, follow this link.

SDNC have organised a very special training session through NETFIT Netball on Tuesday 22nd of October during normal training time.

For SDNC registered players there is NO COST but each player MUST register their attendance to participate.

At last year’s event each player was given a T-shirt, this year we have made it optional to purchase one at a subsidised cost of $5.

We would also be encouraging players to wear their last year’s T-shirt on the day.  

The second training time will start at 430pm till 530pm on this day only.

All teams are provided with a coach and/or assistant by the club who is responsible for both running training and managing game day positions & tactics.

Coaching for the St Dominic's Netball club is a great way for players to develop leadership skills. Coaches can start off in an assistant capacity while they learn and develop confidence (generally around 12-14 years of age) and then progress through to a coaching role managing their own team (generally 14+years old).

Minimum qualifications for our coaches are the Foundation Coach Accreditation Course through Netball Victoria.  

If you are interested in applying for a coaching position, please let the club know by emailing stdomsnetball@gmail.com.
