The future of Douglas netball is looking bright, with the Douglas Netball Association focused on building the next generation of netballers in our region.

Those running the DNA say they are excited to be bringing back the NetSetGO program in school term three - which starts on Monday, July 13 - to help provide a “fun and inclusive introduction to netball for children aged 5–9 years”.
