Richmond - Melbourne Social Netball

Last updated April 2026

Watch your child’s confidence soar at Richmond – Melbourne Social Netball, where laughter and teamwork meet on the court every week. The junior netball club turns skill-building into fun, with drills and games designed to keep kids aged 5 to 12 engaged and moving. Parents rave about the inclusive vibe and the way coaches blend encouragement with real skill development. Perfect for school holiday activities in Melbourne, this is a place where shy kids find their voice and active kids burn off energy. No pressure, just plenty of high-fives and team spirit. **What to Bring** Comfortable sports clothes and runners you can run in. A water bottle and a healthy snack for after the session. A sun hat and sunscreen if you’re playing outdoors. A towel if you’re sticking around for a casual catch-up. **Best Age Range** Designed for kids aged 5 to 12. Younger siblings can often join in warm-ups or stay to cheer from the sidelines. **Good to Know** Sessions are held on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings. Casual trials are welcome — just turn up 15 minutes early to register. Parking is free along Swan Street, but spots fill quickly after 5pm on weeknights. Check the website for term dates and school holiday program dates. **Nearby** Grab a post-game smoothie at Matcha Mylkbar in Richmond. Let the kids burn off more energy at the playground in Yarra Park, Melbourne just a 10-minute walk away. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 10 minutes early for your first session so your child can meet the coaches and see the court. Bring a spare hair tie for long hair — nets can be tricky. If your child loves it, ask about their holiday intensive clinics — they sell out fast.
