Frankston Netball Club, established in 1966, is a long-standing non-profit organisation located in Melbourne. It serves the Frankston district and surrounding areas, providing access to the exciting sport of netball. The club's main objective is to identify and meet the needs of netball players, coaches, umpires, administrators, and clubs by enhancing participation experiences and promoting active involvement.
As part of the Frankston District Netball Association (FDNA), the club offers a range of opportunities for netball enthusiasts. It organises fixtures and results and encourages teams to participate in local competitions. The organisation also supports umpires and provides the latest news updates related to netball in the region.
