ABOUT US

The Central District Netball Club (CDNC), in conjunction with its strategic alliance with the Central District Football Club (CDFC) represents a district, encompassing Salisbury, Elizabeth, Gawler, Adelaide Plains, Barossa Valley and the Mid North, truly Uniting The North in sport.

 

Since 1998 Harlequin Netball Club participated in the elite South Australian Netball landscape, submitting teams into the State League Netball competition and the underpinning Adelaide Metropolitan Netball Division and whilst the clubs history spans decades prior to this, it's unique partnership with CDFC remains key to its existence.

 

Throughout a successful period of time as individual clubs, both Harlequin Netball Club and CDFC have seen the Northern region continue to grow in both population and sporting interest, especially in Netball and Football. For this reason, 2016 marked a significant year of change when Harlequin Netball Club made the decision to undertake a major rebrand. As a result, Central District Netball Club was born.

 

In 2017 the South Australian Netball community witnessed a new era, when CDNC stepped out on the courts at Priceline Stadium in the RED, WHITE and BLUE and established a new force in Northern Netball excellence.

formation with central district football club

Prior to 2017, CDNC represented the Northern region as Harlequin Netball Club, a foundation member of the Elizabeth Netball Association (1967) and Netball South Australia affiliated Premier League and Adelaide Metropolitan Netball Division (2003).

 

The strategic alliance that was established in 1998 with CDFC provided Harlequin with additional opportunities to encourage Netball participation in the North, but was limited in its clear distinction with the Football Club.

 

After a restructure in 2014, foundation plans commenced to undertake a major re-brand of Harlequin Netball Club and finally facilitate the long-term goal to forming one Central District sporting brand.

 

This strategic alliance provides both clubs with opportunities to provide aspiring Netballers and Footballers with an avenue for elite participation.

 

CDFC has a long history of success in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), its members and supporters taking pride in their club and dedicated to building a strong reputation known for their loyalty and passion.

 

Central District Netball Club continues to draw on this rich history and add to the success of the Central District brand, by participating in the highest pre-elite competition, the Netball South Australia Premier League in the coming years.

Committee

The Committee works tremendously hard to make sure Central District Netball Club is well positioned to run efficiently, effectively and supports the ongoing growth of Netball in the North. As volunteers for the Club, they give up their time to make sure CDNC players can continue to take the court each week and for that we say THANK YOU!

Grand Central Tavern also hosts our annual Gala Night, our major end-of-season event. Our Gala Night awards our Club's highest accolade, the Club Champions, along with team MVP's, Coaches Awards, Life Memberships and Umpire/Coach Awards.
