Who we are - Comets Northern Beaches Netball
Who are Comets Northern Beaches Netball Club?
Comets Northern Beaches Netball Club has been associated with MWNA for 40+ years. The first Comets team played in the Spring Comp of 1979. Our members were an Australian umpire, a retired international player, a mother of an Australian player, the Australian physiotherapist, a National ‘A’ Badge umpire and three Level 1 coaches. A club composed of so many stars needed a name to suit & Comets came to being.
Our teams train at Curl Curl, but we do not draw from any particular area. Our connections are our friends & those who come looking for something different. More recently, we became Comets Northern Beaches to separate us from other Comets clubs in nearby associations.
Our draw card is positive experience. The stability of our teams provides for successful seasons; our reputation comes from that consistent success. We are small enough for the personal touch, big enough to be competitive, a club with the depth of talent to be involved in many levels of the Association.
GOALS
Informed, accredited coaches and umpires
Regular and effective training
Ongoing umpiring and coaching
Support Innovative ideas, fair play & fair treatment

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
We are mostly a seniors club, but happy to have junior teams when a keen adult comes in with a team, and Mixed and All Men teams and over 35 teams have been fielded where competitions cater for them.
Our teams tend to be groups of friends, and have strong managers.
We grade with a difference - our teams are graded against each other to gauge relative strength, but we don’t grade people, unless they ask for higher or lower grades.
Full involvement in winter and summer competitions
Involvement in masters competitions, players often attend weekend carnivals
Our Facebook page has replaced newsletters & gets hundreds of views
A website to keep you in touch
