Canberra Netball Association

Last updated April 2026

At the Canberra Netball Association in Lyneham, kids aged 5–17 dive into the fast-paced fun of junior netball, with teams tailored for every skill level from beginners to competitive players. The association’s welcoming coaches focus on building confidence, teamwork and skill—while kids just love the thrill of sprinting down the court, dodging defenders and scoring goals. Matches and training sessions buzz with energy, and the Lyneham courts are a second home to dozens of local families looking for regular, structured activity. It’s a place where new players quickly feel part of the team, and seasoned juniors push their skills further under expert guidance. Parents appreciate the club’s strong community vibe and commitment to fair play and fun over win-at-all-costs pressure.\n\n**What to Bring\nSunsmart active wear and runners. Bring a water bottle and a packed snack for after training. Pack a change of clothes—netball can get messy, especially in summer. A cap and sunglasses are handy on sunny match days.** **Best Age Range\n5 to 17 years—with Under 7s, Under 9s, Under 11s, Under 13s, Under 15s and Under 17s teams. No netball experience needed to join.** **Good to Know\nRegistration opens late January; late sign-ups accepted through February if space allows. Training runs weekly on weekday evenings after school, matches are Saturday mornings. Casual day passes are $10 per child if you want to try a session before committing. Parking is free on nearby streets—just arrive 10 minutes early to secure a spot.** **Nearby\nCool down at the splash pad at Lyneham Triangle Park, just a 5-minute walk away. Grab a post-game treat at The Front Café on Northbourne Avenue, a 2-minute drive north.** **Tips From Other Parents\nArrive 15 minutes before your first session to meet the coach and settle your child in. Bring a small first-aid kit—scraped knees happen. Check the club’s Facebook page for last-minute court changes or rain alerts, especially in winter."
