Oakleigh South Netball Club (OSNC) is a Not-For-Profit Incorporated Association. OSNC's Constitution is available here.

In 1998 Vivian Walker and Wendy Townley’s daughters, who attended Oakleigh South Primary School, pestered their mothers about playing netball.  As a result, Wendy and Viv started a team, training after school, using the school’s asphalt area and with the school supporting the initiative.

The team was registered with the Caulfield and District Netball Association (CDNA) with the name ‘Oakleigh South Netball Club (OSNC)’, a not-for-profit club for the local community. Vivian and Wendy decided the theme for the club should be gemstones and named the first team the ‘Crystals’. In the subsequent, with the support from many parents and friends, the club has grown to many teams.

Since the club’s debut, both Vivian and Wendy have served on the Oakleigh South and CDNA committees in a number of important capacities. The pair’s contribution to founding, establishing and nurturing a club, while enjoying the rewards of creating another sporting option for children, is unsurpassed. To recognise their tremendous efforts, Vivian and Wendy were presented with an inaugural life membership at the annual presentation night in June 2007.  Past President, Sandra Calvert, said the club owed its very existence to these two women.

Who are we

We encourage parents, players, siblings or friends who are 14 years old + to give coaching a go. Oakleigh South Netball Club coaches are volunteers from the local community support and offer their skills and time to support the development of players' skills, sporting performance and teamwork. Coaches who are 18 years old + have a Victorian Working with Children Check (Service Victoria) for child safety.

Volunteering as a netball coach offers numerous benefits, including personal skill development, a sense of community, mental and physical wellbeing and the satisfaction of contributing to others' growth. You can improve your leadership, communication, and organisational skills, while staying fit and healthy. Oakleigh South Netball Club will support financially you to obtain a Victoria Netball Associating Coaching Accreditation Foundation online course.
