New Netball Courts @ NHS

Northcote High is one of three  schools in the Darebin area getting new netball courts thanks to the new Inner City Netball Program.

With more than 145,000 players across the State, the Victorian Government knows how important it is to secure new netball courts for players of all ages in inner city Melbourne. The inner city Netball program is targeted at supporting young women and night competitions.

Two courts will be built at Northcote High (a x new and one replacing the current court) with lighting, three new acrylic netball courts with lighting at Thornbury High School, one new acrylic netball court with lighting at Fairfield Primary School and a feasibility for a netball complex at Yarra Bend Park. This court provision will assist groups like the Parkside Netball Club cater for growing demand.

The courts will come complete with floodlighting, paving the way for more midweek evening action, and competition-standard acrylic surface will give budding players a space they can be proud of. It’s a big win for students too, who will soon be able to hone their skills in the school grounds.

The Victorian Government’s new $9.6 million Inner City Netball Program is building 64 new courts in inner-Melbourne, ensuring nobody is turned away from playing the game they love.
