MLC School Netball 2026

We are excited to share the Netball options available for our students in 2026. This year, we are offering two fantastic pathways for your daughter to participate in Netball, each providing unique opportunities and experiences.

Junior School Students – Year 3 to Year 6

Students will be able to compete in the ERNA competition each Saturday from Saturday 2 May – Saturday 12 September 2026. This competition will run through the school holidays, students who sign up to this competition will need to ensure that they are able to play throughout this period. Please note that students in Year 2 will be able to join the Jump Start program that is held on a Friday afternoon at MLC School. This program will have a netball component.

The ERNA competition will be held each Saturday at:

Old Marsden High School site
Winbourne Street
West Ryde NSW  2114

Senior School Students – Year 7 to Year 12

This year Senior school students will have two options. Students will only be able to select one competition stream; IGSA or ERNA.

IGSA School-Based Competition

The first option is the school-based IGSA competition, which will be played during the school term. This competition is organised for girls from independent schools across Sydney, offering a great chance for our students to compete and build camaraderie with their peers. We are pleased to announce that we will have our own home courts in Homebush, enabling us to host home games. The games will be held at other girls schools in Sydney between the times of 8am–11am. Games tend to be at a different location each week. This year we will enter both the Term 2 and Term 3 competitions. Games will not be played over the school holiday period. All games will be played against school students.

ERNA Competition

The second option is the ERNA competition. This competition is played every from Saturday 2 May until Saturday 12 September 2026. This means that play will take place during the school holidays. Students who sign up to this competition must ensure they are able to play throughout the school holidays. Games for this competition will be played at:

Old Marsden High School site
Winbourne Street
West Ryde NSW  2114

We encourage you to discuss these options with your daughter and decide which competition best suits her interests and schedule. If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We look forward to another wonderful year of Netball in 2026!
