Located within the City Council municipality of Bayside, the Bayside and District Netball Association is a not-for-profit, incorporated association.
Sandringham Youth Club Netball Association (SYCNA) was established in 1984 with three founding clubs – Hampton Hammers, Sandy Starlets and St Finbar’s – providing players with the opportunity to play netball in the Bayside area.
In 2013, SYCNA became incorporated and changed its operating name to Sandringham and District Netball Association (SANDY) to reflect its membership base outside of Sandringham. In 2023, the name was changed to Bayside and District Netball Association (BDNA).
BDNA is governed by a Board, with board members appointed in line with the requirements of the constitution. It is bound by the constitution – maintaining by-laws and policies that are aligned to Netball Victoria and Netball Australia as an affiliated member of both organisations.
In late 2023, BDNA moved from its former home at Thomas St, Hampton to a new facility – the Bayside Community Sports Centre at Sandringham Secondary College. BDNA is operating from the new Centre which has three indoor and nine outdoor courts.
At the heart of BDNA is a strong community focus and a desire for as many people as possible to enjoy the sport we love.
