About Us

The Leichhardt Wanderers Club was formed in 1911 and is the oldest continuously running junior league club in Australia.  

Leichhardt Wanderers Netball Club started in 2009 with two teams. Since then the Club has grown to be the largest netball club in Sydney's Inner West, with 64 teams in 2024. 

​In December 2023 the important step of establishing an incorporated association - known as the Leichhardt Wanderers Netball Club, Inc was taken. An affiliation agreement was also formalised with the Leichhardt Wanderers Junior Rugby League & Cricket Club, Inc.

Our Values

  1. Inclusivity: We welcome and respect all players, families, and supporters, fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and included regardless of their background, skill level, or abilities.

  2. Sportsmanship: We prioritise fair play, integrity, and respect for opponents, umpires, coaches, and teammates, emphasising that how we play is just as important as winning.

  3. Development: We are dedicated to the growth and development of our young athletes, both on and off the field, nurturing their skills, character, and self-confidence.

  4. Teamwork: We emphasise the importance of collaboration, communication, and unity, recognising that success is achieved through collective effort rather than individual prowess.

  5. Fun and Enjoyment: We strive to create an enjoyable and positive experience for all participants, ensuring that the love of the sport remains at the heart of what we do.
