We love netball, and we love providing a club that everyone can feel part of – whether you’re a player, coach, parent or carer, volunteer or supporter.
It’s what’s shaped our journey over nearly fifty years, and continues to be central to our values and beliefs as a Club.

Our origins

From humble beginnings, the Tigers Netball Club has grown along with the growth of netball; while always maintaining a strong community focus which continues to drive the direction of our club.

Our club has a rich history dating back to the 1970s. We were foundation members of the Cheltenham Heights Netball Association, now known as the Kingston District Netball Association following its merger with the Moorabbin Netball Association in 1999. 

In 2014, in a move to strengthen and build closer links to the communities of Black Rock, Beaumaris and Sandringham where the majority of our players are drawn from, we joined the Bayside and District Netball Association (BDNA) as a key member club. 

While proud of our past, we are equally focused on growing and developing all aspects of our club so that Tigers Netball continues to play an important role in Bayside’s sporting fabric.

Our values

Our strong focus on community, learning and inclusiveness is reflected in our Club values.

  • Teamwork 
    We expect all players to make a commitment to the club and their teammates, supporting each other in the team’s endeavours. Team participation should enhance people’s natural enjoyment of sport and promote friendship.

  • Resilience
    We strive to challenge and encourage our players to deal with challenges through the development of new life skills in a supportive team environment.  

  • Integrity
    We act in a fair, consistent, transparent and honest manner in all our actions. We believe in fair play, being humble in victory and gracious
    in defeat.

  • Respect
    We have due regard for the feelings, wishes, or rights of others – including teammates, coaches, umpires and the opposition irrespective of our differences – to create a friendly and welcoming club culture.

Lorraine Hyland Trophy

We feel it is important to recognise those people within our club who demonstrate the qualities and values that are important to us.

At our annual presentation night, we award the Lorraine Hyland Trophy to acknowledge the Best Club person. Named in honour of former Club President Lorraine Hyland, this prized perpetual trophy is awarded to an individual who has given tremendous service through:

  • Regular attendance at training and other club functions

  • Demeanour

  • Willingness to provide assistance at training and other functions

  • Volunteer work

  • Assistance with younger players

  • Availability for other duties eg. umpiring, coaching, team manager

We respectfully acknowledge the Bunurong people of the South-Eastern Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which our club is based. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. We also wish to recognise the tremendous contribution that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people make to sport, and in particular Netball, in Victoria.
