Representative Netball (Club)

There are many different pathways for young people to become involved in representative netball, offering opportunities to develop skills, gain higher-level game experience, and progress through the sport.
The main representative pathways available to our members are offered through Downey Park Netball Association (DPNA), Queensland Catholic Netball Association (QCNA), and Pine Rivers Netball Association (PRNA).

Each pathway provides unique opportunities and caters to players at different stages of their netball journey.
