100 for Chloe 💕
A circle defender, Chloe is the kind of player you want on your team when the pressure is on. She plays hard every single time she steps onto the court, never gives up on a contest and has a knack for winning back ball after ball for her team.
And when there is a rebound off the goal ring, you can guarantee Chloe will be there, our very own rebound queen! 👑🏐
But Chloe brings so much more than her defensive ability. She is a natural leader, leads by example and has continued to grow in confidence both on and off the court throughout her netball journey.
We’ve watched Chloe represent NNA in the development squads, challenging herself against some of the best young players around and continuing to develop her game. We’ve also loved seeing her step into coaching as an assistant coach, sharing her knowledge with younger players.
Chloe has continued to give back to the game in another way, completing the Green Shirt Umpiring Program and progressing into umpiring. It had been amazing to see her developing her understanding of netball from every angle- player, coach and umpire.
We are so proud of the player, leader and all-round netballer you have become.
Congratulations on an incredible 100 games, Chloe! ❤️🖤

100 for Emma 🎉
Like so many of our players, Emma’s netball journey began at primary school before she found her way to NDNC and we’re so glad she did!
Emma brings her own wonderful personality to everything she does. She’s fun, individual and full of personality, and you can always count on her to add a little extra flair to the court (usually in the form of an amazing and colourful pair of socks! 🧦🌈)
Over the seasons, we’ve loved watching Emma develop into a versatile and determined defender. Whether she’s working hard through the mid-court or taking on the challenge of defending in the circle, she continues to grow in confidence and skill.
This season, Emma has also stepped outside her comfort zone by taking on the Green Shirt Umpiring Program. It’s been fantastic to watch her begin to grow in confidence off the court as well, developing her decision-making and understanding of the game from a different perspective.
And if there’s one thing that sums up Emma’s determination, it might just be her 2025 Grand Final! After fracturing her finger early in the game, Emma refused to let it stop her. She dug deep, kept going and finished the game as a premiership player! 🏆❤️ What a way to show her resilience and commitment to her team.
Emma, we are so proud of the player you have grown into and the energy, personality and determination you bring to our club.
Congratulations on an incredible 100 games with NDNC ❤️🖤

100 for Maia 🙌🏻
Maia has been part of the NDNC family since her junior days, and it has been so special to watch her grow from a young player into the wonderful netballer she is today.
A gentle and quiet soul off the court, Maia has a deep love for netball that shines through every time she steps onto it. As a shooter, she is exactly the kind of player every team hopes to have - tall, reliable, composed and always willing to put in the work to get the job done.
One of our favourite chapters in Maia’s journey came in 2023, when she was part of our team that went into the finals as the underdogs and came away premiers! 🏆 A special season, a special team and a very special memory to have as part of her 100-game journey.
Maia is always keen to learn, takes feedback on board and works hard to keep improving. She brings a calm presence to the court and a genuine team-first attitude, always putting in the effort for those around her.
And while she might be one of the quieter members of the team, her love for the game speaks volumes. She continues to show up, work hard and give her all and we couldn’t be prouder of the player she has become.
Maia, congratulations on an incredible 100 games with NDNC! ❤️🖤

Well done, Tealia! 🏐🤍

150 for Amelia 👸🏼
It’s pretty special when you can say we’ve watched someone grow up at NDNC, and Amelia is certainly one of those players. From her early days at the club to reaching this incredible milestone, we’ve loved watching her develop both on and off the court.
A talented mid-court player, Amelia is witty, smart and an incredible team player. She has a great understanding of the game and the ability to read the play and create opportunities for her team.
We’ve also had the privilege of watching Amelia represent NNA in the development squads and continue to develop her skills as a player.
But Amelia’s contribution to NDNC doesn’t stop at playing. For many years, she has generously given her time as an assistant coach, supporting teams and sharing her knowledge with younger players. This season, she took the leap and stepped into the role of head coach of her own team and we couldn’t be prouder to see her taking on this next challenge.
Perhaps one of the most special parts of Amelia’s NDNC journey is getting to see her share it with her Mum and sister. Having three members of the same family involved in our club is something that those around them have loved witnessing over the years ❤️
Amelia, 150 games is an incredible achievement, but what makes us even prouder is everything you bring to our club. You’ve grown alongside NDNC, and now you’re helping shape the next generation coming through.
Congratulations on 150 games with NDNC, Amelia! ❤️🖤

WARRIORS CUP 2026 💜💚
Another carnival, another Sunday spent on the courts doing what we all love most.. netball! 😉🏐
This year we were thrilled to see plenty of sunshine in the forecast… if you know, you know! ⛈️❄️😂
There was plenty of NDNC representation across the courts, with a few new faces to help make numbers for teams. It was a day filled with plenty of netball, lollies, laughs and friendships, exactly what carnivals are all about!
We’re always so proud to see our girls out on court, representing themselves and our club. A huge well done to all our players, coaches and umpires who got involved and made Warriors Cup 2026 another great day! 👏🏼🎉🏐

100 for Tealia ✨
From the very beginning, Tealia has been small but mighty — fierce on court, with a netball brain that we could all wish for. And off the court? Always the biggest smile and, of course, the best hair! 💁🏽♀️
Tealia has represented NNA over the last 3 years, including being part of the 12s team that took home the win 🏆 Her talent and understanding of the game have been evident from a young age, and at just 13, she stepped up into our 18 Division 1 team. An incredible achievement that showed just how incredible she is 👏🏼
Tealia’s contribution to NDNC goes well beyond her own playing. She has previously stepped up to assist with coaching our NET players, sharing her knowledge and helping the next generation. More recently, Tealia completed her Green Shirt Program before taking on an impressive 2026 season in Team White 🏐
Tealia, we are so proud of the player, umpire and young leader you are becoming. Congratulations on an incredible 100 games with NDNC! ❤️🖤
