“Some exciting news for Boeing reserve sporting clubs and casual users” 🤞

Thanks for listening Oscar Yildiz JP the SHNC and broader community are grateful.

$1 MILLION FOR MULTIPURPOSE COURTS AT BOEING RESERVE - STRATHMORE HEIGHTS.

I recently met with Luke McKinnon, President of Strathmore Heights Netball Club to discuss the urgent need for Multi-Purpose Netball/Basketball/Tennis Courts at Boeing Reserve. The 2 Courts that are there now are older than me.

This Club’s been fighting for courts for over 4 years and now has almost 250 participants, yet there are still no Netball courts at Boeing Reserve.

If elected, I will work with Moonee Valley Council and commit $1 million to deliver fully lit, fenced multipurpose courts for netball, basketball, tennis and community recreation.

These courts will provide local families and young people access to modern facilities close to home and remain publicly accessible outside organised sport.

Four years is long enough. Local families, athletes and sporting clubs shouldn’t have to travel across Municipalities just to access the facilities they deserve in their own community.

It’s time to get this done, it’s time for Action!

Massive congratulations to Luca. Your dedication o your umpiring development has been amazing to watch.

We are so incredibly proud of you ❤️🏐🖤

Congratulations to Luca Pinnisi on earning his Umpire B Badge last Tuesday! 👏🏅 A fantastic achievement and a great reward for all your hard work and dedication.
Luca has completed his umpire pathway here at Parkville Netball ever since a junior at Strathmore Heights Netball Club, whilst also playing every week!
Well done, Luca! 🎉

It’s time for our SHNC players to step up, back yourselves, and show everyone what you’re capable of!

Since Merri-Bek’s inaugural representative season, Strathmore Heights Netball Club has proudly had players wearing the Merri-Bek colours. It’s an incredible program that provides fantastic opportunities to develop your skills, challenge yourself, and create lifelong friendships.

We can’t wait to see our SHNC players out there giving it their all. Believe in your preparation, play with confidence, and enjoy every moment.

Good luck to everyone trialling – we’re cheering you on every step of the way! ❤️🏐🖤

Lots of laughs, lots of “dad you can’t go in that third and don’t step” and most of all lots of smiles and memories made.

Well done to you all for taking to the court and fingers crossed the bodies pull up ok today.

U17 Raptors, what a team. 🥰

Season after season, you continue to make your club, your coaches and your supporters incredibly proud.

Today wasn’t the result we were hoping for, but you fought until the very final whistle and came so close. Your determination, resilience and refusal to give in were on full display.

What makes this team so special isn’t just the netball you play, it’s the way you play it. Every one of you steps onto the court for each other. You trust one another, celebrate every success together, lift each other through the tough moments and always put the team first. That selfless attitude is something truly special.

But this group is about so much more than netball. You’re more than teammates, you’re the best of friends. The laughter at training, the encouragement on the sidelines, the belief you have in one another and the way you celebrate each other are what make the Raptors such a remarkable team. Your team spirit is something that can’t be coached; it’s built through trust, respect and the friendships you’ve created along the way.

One more season together. One more opportunity to create more memories, strengthen those friendships and chase your goals as a team.

Hold your heads high, wear those your silverware with pride, and remember that success isn’t only measured by premierships. It’s measured by the culture you’ve built, the friendships you’ve formed, and the way you’ve represented yourselves and our club every single week.

We couldn’t be prouder of you all. ❤️🏐🖤
