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
PLC Netball Club is committed to developing a netball club for the entire community that supports and develops all players fairly, keeps players in the game and ensures they have a good sports experience. The best way to do so is to find a level of play that suits a player’s abilities, desired level of commitment and social needs. The player selection process helps identify the level of play that is most suited to players at this moment in time. While players (and parents) may be upset in the short term if a player is not placed on a team considered at their desired level, in the long run, it will facilitate their continued love of, and participation in, the sport.
The following criteria is taken into consideration in the team selection process:
• Player age, skills, and abilities.
• Team balance and competitiveness.
• Performance on trial day (for Divisional players).
• Player position preferences.
• Team position requirements (2-3 GS/GA, 3-4 WA/C/WD and 2-3 GK/GD).
• CDNA by-laws.
• CDNA age guidelines as below:
Initial team lists have been finalised and all players/parents should have received an email regarding their team allocation and training details. Whilst we endeavour to accommodate player preference regarding training days/times, this needs to be balanced with the availability of our volunteer coaches. We appreciate the support provided by all parties in making our training schedule work as best as possible.
Just a reminder that grading games on 9th, 16th and 23rd March are to ensure players are allocated to the right team, and the team is in the right Division. A player may be moved to a different team, or a team to a different Division, as a result of performance during the grading rounds.
Please note the following important dates:
Saturday 9th March: Grading round-robin; teams play multiple shorter games.
Saturday 16th March: Grading round-robin, teams play multiple shorter games.
Saturday 23rd March: Final round of grading games; teams play one game of normal length.
Easter School holiday break.
Saturday 20th April: Competition commences, round one, Caloundra Indoor sports stadium.
PLC Netball club encourages and welcomes parent involvement with our teams, so if you are interested in being a team manager or coach, please reach out.
We look forward to another wonderful year of netball in 2024!!
