, by David Mejia, 2 min reading time

What Is Summer Netball and Why Should You Join?

The summer netball competition is a great opportunity for players of all ages and skill levels to stay active, social and sharp during the off-season. Whether you are a junior just starting out or a seasoned senior player, summer netball offers a flexible and less competitive environment that focuses on fun and development.

At Sylvania Heights Netball Club, we encourage our members to make the most of this additional season, not just to improve skills but to enjoy the sport year-round with friends and the local community.

Where It All Happens: Bellingara Netball Courts

Most summer netball matches in the Netball Sutherland Shire take place at the well-equipped and centrally located Bellingara Netball Courts in Miranda. This facility is known for its excellent lighting, multiple courts and vibrant community atmosphere during the warmer months.

It is a convenient location for families across the Sutherland Shire and is home to a variety of clubs, including our very own Sylvania Heights Netball Club.

Who Can Join?

Summer competitions generally run shorter than the winter season and are open to:

  • Juniors aged 6 to 17

  • Seniors including social and competitive teams

  • Mixed age or all-girls teams depending on division

If you are unsure what age group your child fits into, our Membership page breaks it all down for you.
