About Us

ORIGINS OF BLUE JAYS NETBALL CLUB

Blue Jays was born in 1977 when the "Mums + 1" from the Wilson Grange U16A team decided to give netball a go themselves. Not wanting to play on Saturdays, they cast around and settled on BNA's Wednesday night competition. Blue Jays has been a presence at Bradbury Park since that first season.

From those humble beginnings, Blue Jays has grown to be one of the largest clubs playing fixtures at Bradbury Park. This gives us the ability to cater for players wishing to play more social as well as the senior and junior players wishing to push themselves in a more competitive environment.

We strongly encourage our players, parents and supporters to get involved and will assist prospective coaches and umpires to gain accreditation to further develop the quality of netball for us all.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

Blue Jays acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we gather, for both games and training at BNA, and pay our respects to the their Elders past, present and emerging. We extend that respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples of our club.

Blue Jays uniform features Indigenous artwork designed by Ambrose Killian. More of Ambrose's work can be found on his instagram, amiwarre.

"This artwork represents community, connection to country and the landscapes around the Yugerra / Turrbal region. Each community circle represents the diversity within the team / club, each connected through the land and water ways. Whilst there are many sub-communities in the artwork, they all contribute to make up the entirety of the presented piece, meaning every individual contributes to the greater story"

We are privileged enough to own the rights to this artwork and thank Ambrose for being able to bring to life what our club represents.
