Balmain Wolverines Netball Club has come a long way since its early days (and maroon dresses) in 2008 — and we have always been trailblazers and champions of inclusion.

The club was formed as an association of the Balmain Rugby Club. The four inaugural women’s teams took the court in 2009 and quickly cemented themselves as an integral part of the Inner Western Suburbs Netball Association’s competitions.

BWNC has grown to become a prominent presence in the local netball community, an IWSNA Senior Club of the Year and, most importantly, a home to more than 100 members of all backgrounds and skill levels.

In 2023, BWNC led the charge in recruiting men to join the IWSNA’s inaugural Men’s and Mixed competitions. In 2024, we continued to expand, fielding three Men’s teams and five Mixed teams across two divisions.

Then, in 2024, our expansion continued with our first teams entered into the Men’s Netball M-League competition at Sydney Oympic Park.

As much as Wolverines love good competition, what we love more is that netball has been a vehicle for something greater: community and connection for women (and now men) from all walks of life.

From its humble beginnings, BWNC have grown to be a cherished institution in the Inner West.

If you want to be part of our club’s next chapter, please get in touch today — or better yet, jump on court with us in the upcoming season.
