UNITED since 1969
Willoughby United Netball Club has been part of the local community since 1969.
For generations, players, families and volunteers have come together through a shared love of the game and a strong sense of belonging.
What started as a local sporting club has grown into a welcoming, inclusive community where players of all ages and abilities are supported to play, develop and thrive.
Netball is at the heart of what we do, but people are the reason we exist.
