State of Play
The club began in 2013 with the introduction of the NetSetGo program to an enthusiastic group of Year 2’s.
The NetSetGo program has continued each year since then and resulted in every year level from Year 2 onward’s producing netball teams that compete in the Stonnington City Netball Association Junior competition.
