Kensington Junior Netball Club

KJNC is a positive, inclusive community club for kids aged 6 to 17 of all skill/experience levels and genders.

Most teams train indoors one hour per week in or around Kensington and North Melbourne, and play Saturdays at the world-class State Netball Centre in Parkville.

We offer a strong and popular netball program, run by parent volunteers and involved junior coaches. From our first team in 2013, we’ve grown to 34 teams in 2025.

We emphasise respect, inclusion, fair play, positivity and improvement, and work hard at a culture of family support and involvement.

Our families mostly come from Kensington, Flemington, North Melbourne, Footscray, Seddon, Yarraville, Maribyrnong, Ascot Vale, Parkville and Moonee Ponds.

NEW PLAYERS! We welcome inquiries from players of any experience level. To inquire, please use our online contact form. We often have a waitlist, so inquire early!

For young players aged 5 – 10 with no experience, we offer free Come & Play days for our Development Squads in April and October. The regular netball seasons are (Feb – June) and Spring (July – December).

For information, see our Prices & FAQ.

Next Come & Try days: October 8th & 15th, 2025
