Our Club

Established in 1998, Balnarring District Netball Club (BDNC) has grown into a thriving community of players, from NetSetGo to 18/U, supported by passionate coaches, umpires, and dedicated volunteer administrators. Our teams play in the Mornington Peninsula Netball Association (MPNA) competition, promoting skill development, sportsmanship, and a strong sense of community.

BDNC holds training on Wednesdays for all age groups at the Balnarring Recreation Reserve. Our facilities include three lit outdoor courts, a clubroom with change rooms and storage, and shared access to a larger facility also used by the Balnarring Junior Football Club and Balnarring Cricket Club.

The fit-out of these excellent amenities were supported by a $50,000 donation from Community Bank Balnarring & District in 2017-18.

Our values and philosophy

BDNC is committed to demonstrating the five core values that will lead to fair play for all – integrity, respect, responsibility, fairness and safety.

In addition, we believe in providing an environment where participants can:

Learn and develop the skills and ethics of netball.
Receive coaching from appropriately trained coaches.
Have fun and form long-lasting friendships with peers sharing similar goals.
Be supported by the association/club, their peers, coaches and parents.
Be provided with a pathway enabling them to achieve their potential.
