About Brentwood Netball Club

Overview

History

Brentwood Netball Club was established in 1978 by Julie Wilkinson, a teacher at Brentwood Primary School (now Glen Waverley South Primary School). The Club began with two primary school aged teams, and training was held at the school courts in Watsons Road, Glen Waverley. Over the years, the Club has welcomed players from many other neighbouring schools including but not limited to Brandon Park Primary School and Wheelers Hill Primary School , and also expanded its number of senior teams. To accommodate this growth, training for junior teams is now held at the Waverley Netball Centre.
