Also if you think you would like to coach a team contact the club (you do not have to be experienced, assistance is provided) Volunteers in any useful capacity are always welcomed, if you wish to volunteer but are unsure in which capacity to volunteer, contact or talk to committee members, parents and players.
A Touch of History
The Morphett Vale Netball Club is a voluntary based organisation which was founded in 1947. That year the club fielded one "B" Grade team in the Southern Basketball Association. These teams were from other local country towns including Blewett Springs, Willunga, McLaren Vale, Happy Valley and Noarlunga. In 1974, the Southern United Netball Association was formed and the inaugural summer night competition was conducted at Bice Oval in Christies Beach. This association eventually outgrew its facilities and Morphett Vale, by now one of the largest clubs in the southern area, followed this fledgling association from Christies Beach to new courts erected at Jordan Drive, Morphett Vale, and from there to its present twelve court complex at Wilfred Taylor Reserve, States Road, Morphett Vale.
Morphett Vales own courts were "marked" out at Morphett Vale Soldiers Memorial Grounds, which became Morphett Vale Oval Complex, as we know it today. Our clubrooms were built with the assistance of a council grant in 1996 and opened in November 1996, by Mayor Ray Gilbert and Michelle Den Dekker (Australian Captain 1989-1995). In 1998 we celebrated the Clubs 50th year.
The Morphett Vale Netball Club shares a long history with Morphett Vale Football & Cricket Clubs and later the Bowling and Tennis Clubs.
We have come a long way. "GO MORPHIES GO".
