cLUB HISTORY
Southside Lynx was founded by five friends brought together by a shared history of netball and a love of everything community sport can offer.
Between us, we had experienced netball as players, parents, volunteers and supporters, and we shared a clear idea of the kind of club we wanted to help create — one where players could feel welcome, supported, challenged and genuinely part of something.
Southside Lynx grew from countless conversations about what makes a great sporting club. We wanted to build something that valued development and competition, but never at the expense of kindness, inclusion, friendship and enjoyment
A big part of our vision is keeping girls in sport. We know how important belonging, confidence, friendships and positive coaching can be in helping young players stay connected to sport as they grow.
That starts at the very beginning.
At NetSetGO level, our focus is on teaching strong fundamental skills, building confidence and creating a positive first experience of netball. We want our youngest players to learn the game properly, have fun and develop a love of playing that stays with them.
As players progress, we are committed to investing in our juniors, providing quality coaching, development opportunities and clear pathways for those who want to take their netball further.
Our aim is to create a strong pathway from a player’s very first season through to Juniors, Intermediates, pathway teams and senior netball — while making sure there is also a place for players who simply want to enjoy the game with their friends.
From the beginning, we wanted Southside Lynx to be more than just a collection of netball teams. We wanted it to be a community — a club where players and families feel known, where volunteers are valued, where decisions are made thoughtfully and transparently, and where young people can grow in confidence both on and off the court.
Southside Lynx may be a new club, but the friendships, experiences and love of netball behind it have been building for many years.
We’re building for the future!
