MOGs Mission Statement

To offer an opportunity for MGGS leavers to continue playing netball after school, on both a competitive and social level in a club that offers fun for all skill levels and a fantastic social network!

MOGs Netball Club

The Melbourne Old Girls Netball Club’s primary objective is to provide an avenue for young, healthy and active girls to continue playing netball in a social and competitive club after leaving the School network.

MOGS is Melbourne’s fastest growing netball organisation with sixty registered playing members joining in the first season. This is bound to increase as momentum is gained, awareness is generated and enthusiasm grows!

The Club is open to ALL girls aged eighteen+ years who are past students or have some association with Melbourne Girls Grammar. Joining the Club provides players with not only a well organised netball association but also a fantastic social network to embrace through our events, many of which are in conjunction with the Old Melburnians Football Club.

The Old Melburnians Football Club (est 1920) has been incredibly supportive in launching the MOGs. Both Clubs are keen to develop a long term relationship, initially through joint social functions and operational support. This affiliation will undoubtedly benefit both parties through fostering relationships between playing groups, raising club profiles through the wider school communities and generating a wider support network. The opportunity for an ’on field’ relationship is not out of the question with many expressing interest in a mixed netball competition.

Competition

The MOGs are currently playing in the Prahran Netball Association - see www.prahrannetball.com.au for fixtures.

Along with the Prahran Netball Association, MOGs has also had a few teams join VAFA Netball Association. VAFA has taken initiative to help create, support and include netball teams under their banner and with this came the creation of the VAFA Netball Association.

The Association is made up girls within family and friends of the associated VAFA football clubs. There are no formal eligibility criteria to play for one of the teams, which is reflective of the general social nature of the competition. The model is not dissimilar to many sporting clubs in country areas of Victoria.  Two seasons of VAFA Netball have been very successful.

The social and sporting integration as well as the networking opportunities for the netballers is the idea of the competition.

You can find MOGs Netball Group and also become a fan of VAFA Netball Association Page on Facebook.

Individual Team Captains are fully responsible and accountable for having 7 players on the court and for financial costs associated with playing with VAFA and the Prahan Netball Association. Team uniform is optional, please contact Lucy Kennon if you require the MOGs singlets and hoddies for your team members.  Singlets cost $20 and Hoddies are $25
