Eltham Panthers Junior Netball Club is a thriving club located in Templestowe and was established in 2015 by a group of dedicated local parents. Their vision was to provide players with the opportunity to learn, grow, and excel in netball. Since its inception, the club has experienced significant growth and now boasts over 13 teams.
Registration is open to both existing and new teams looking to be part of a supportive and energetic netball club. From Net Set Go through to U9, U11, U13, U15, U17, and Open teams, Eltham Panthers focuses on player development and offers a strong emphasis on coaching development. The club encourages coaches and players to attend clinics hosted by Netball Victoria and Nardelli Coaching to refine their skills.
Eltham Panthers Netball Club is proud to be a part of the Manningham Netball Association and participates in both the Saturday Domestic Competition and Representative Team Programmes. The club also holds accreditation as a Net Set Go Provider, catering to young players starting their netball journey.
Training sessions are held on Thursday afternoons, while games are played on Saturdays at the courts located on Crn Foote St and Anderson St in Templestowe. The club believes in building strong connexions with player families and the local community, recognising the invaluable contributions made by hardworking volunteers.
