Netball

A new under-19 netball competition is in the works to fill a void left by changes to the Victorian Netball League. The Altona and Waverley District netball associations are driving the new league, with expressions of interest for the new competition being put out. There would be two conferences, one based at Altona and one at Waverley, with an overall winner crowned. Teams could come from VNL clubs, while local associations are also being sought to express their interest.
