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 Parkville Stadium.

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 32 teams in 2024.

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. The Autumn season runs Feb – June, and Spring season runs July – December. We often have a waitlist, so inquire early!
