Club Sport

Pacific Lutheran College has several sports development programs outside of school hours. These programs encourage participation, giving students the opportunity to be part of a team, and learn basic skills of the game.

The parent-led Pacific FC Soccer and PLC Netball Clubs compete on Saturdays in community competitions throughout the Sunshine Coast.

PLC Netball Club

Last Saturday 11^th March, saw our teams take to the court for the first games of the season in the Grading ‘Round-robin’ at Caloundra Indoor Stadium.  Thank you to all players, coaches, managers, and supporters for ensuring the day was a great success.

The first full-game round of the season kicks off this Saturday so please ensure you have received information from your coach/manager regarding start time, court and when/where to meet beforehand. If someone is unable to attend training or the game, please contact your team coach or manager (in the first instance) or the President email as a last resort.  Please ensure your team manager and coach have your correct contact details (email and mobile phone number).

Did you know:

• In the early 1900s, netball was also called ‘Women’s basketball’ in Australia and New Zealand

• Netball was introduced in England in 1890s

• In 1901, netball rules were published, after which it became an official competitive sport

• In the early years of netball, a team could have between five and nine players

• Netball guidelines were standardised at a conference in Sri Lanka in 1960

• Over 20 million people across 80 countries play netball!!

Training continues to go very well.  Please remember that all players are required to participate in their weekly training session.

Each team requires a manager to assist with coordination of communication for the team and some other duties on game day (e.g., scoring, collection of game card, ensuring all players sign the card etc.).  If your team does not yet have a manager, please consider taking on this small, but very important, role for your child’s team.

We welcome any suggestions for helping our club or providing feedback if you have any concerns.
