About Us

Welcome to Oakdale

Oakdale is one of just eight clubs playing in the elite Premier League in South Australia, but young athletes can begin with us from as young as 7 years old, through our junior teams. We are based at the Netball SA stadium at Mile End. We have experienced pathway coaches and a development support staff striving to create opportunities for all on the court, with a focus off the court on solid community partnerships to ensure we avoid escalating fees to the point players are excluded from the game.

At Oakdale, we love netball for the joy it brings and the connections it creates. We aim to inspire excellence, teamwork and lifelong connections through the game. We are a club where athletes of all ages and backgrounds are welcomed, supported and encouraged to thrive. From our tiny sub-primaries to our Premier League stars, we create an environment where skills are developed, confidence is nurtured, and friendships are formed. We believe netball has the power to shape not just great players, but great people, who are resilient, respectful and responsible both on and off the court. We inject our club values into everything we do, to give everyone at Oakdale a place to grow and belong.

Unity

At the heart of Oakdale Netball Club is a sense of unity, community and togetherness. We create an environment for our athletes and coaches to feel a sense of belonging, allowing them to be the best they can be. Unity is strength; when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.

Excellence

At Oakdale, success is more than just winning on the scoreboard – it’s about growth, character and aspiring to excellence in all that we do. We inspire and we celebrate no matter where you sit within our community, because excellence is about always striving to be better – as athletes, teammates and people. It’s why we are a destination club. At Oakdale, we nurture champion athletes and champion people.

Passion

We are driven by an unwavering passion for the game, for our community and the journey of every athlete. It’s the spark in every training session, the fire on game day and the pride we feel wearing our famous purple. We play fierce, but we play fair. At Oakdale this shared passion and pride unites us and fuels our deep love for the game.

Fun

We believe that fun is at the core of every great sporting experience. Whether it’s the laughter at training, the joy of playing with friends, or the buzz of game day – fun brings our club to life. We create a positive and supportive environment where our athletes can enjoy the game, build friendships and create lasting memories. At Oakdale, we are the right kind of serious.
