Welcome to Hamersley Netball Club Inc.

Playing a team sport is enjoyable and fun but we understand that it can also trigger other issues such as anxiety that may need support. Hamersley are pleased to offer help to our members in this important and sensitive area.

Do you think your child is struggling to fit in or perhaps is anxious about the first game? If so you can contact our Parent Liaison Officer Leanne Newland. The role of the Parent Liaison Officer is to provide a confidential space in which parents can gain support, advice or guidance in regards to their child. Leanne is a Clinical Psychologist who specialises in working with children and adolescents. For further information and contact details visit our Parent Liaison Officer page.

Direction Psychology, in collaboration with WA Primary Health Alliance, is running a series of free groups for children, teens, and young adults in the Northern Suburbs of Perth. The joint aim is to improve the mental and emotional wellbeing of young people who are struggling and provide therapy services for those who may not be able to afford to access them. For further information email Karen and Jess at: groups@directionpsychology.com.au

Congratulations to Liz Dronfield, Taryn Smith and the rest of the 17U WA State Team for finishing 3rd at the National Netball Championships and bringing home Bronze Medals.

Dear members and supporters we need your help!! After the success of last year’s raffle, Hamersley Netball Club are planning to hold another raffle during the 2019 season. We are seeking generous sponsors who may be able to donate a voucher for a product or service, merchandise or cash to the raffle. In exchange, the sponsor will be supported by Hamersley Netball Club by providing exposure of the business through our website, newsletters and the raffle. If you know of a business who may consider sponsoring a local community sporting club, it would be greatly appreciated if you could contact us. Please contact Leanne Spivey 0438 944 473 or Jane White 0415 918 230 for further information. The deadline for finalising the raffle sponsors is the 6 May 2019. Thank you,
