25.01.2022 At our EDNA Committee meeting last week, it was decided that we would cease our planning for a Spring Season in 2020. Due to the uncertainty when Melbourne’s lockdown restrictions will be lifted to a level to allow for a return to netball competition activities, we will now focus on preparing for the 2021 seasons. Our thanks go to all club and association officials who’ve remained in a state of readiness and will now be able to take a breath, wrap up 2020 arrangements a...nd build towards 2021. Thank you to all the EDNA Community for your patience and support during what has been a year that we all will be happy to put behind us! For those of you who have questions regarding NVM registrations, please visit our website www.essendondna.com.au We look forward to getting back on court in 2021 !!! In the meantime, stay safe and look out for one another.

14.01.2022 There's no doubt that COVID-19 has thrown the sporting industry into crisis. At Netball Vic we are not immune to this, but we are also in an incredibly fortuna...te situation compared to many other sports, largely thanks to the foresight of our predecessors.
