Netball

Marist Albion Netball Club (MANC) was formed in 1997; one year after the Marist and Albion Rugby Clubs had amalgamated. MANC became, and still remains, one of the larger clubs in Christchurch.

There is something to suit everyone from Juniors to Premier, Social to Competitive and in 2008 MANC introduced "Future Ferns" teams to the ranks. Another group of players we are very proud to have in the club is our KiwiAble team. KiwiAble is an outreach programme ensuring people with disabilities can equally enjoy the game of netball. In 1996 with the help of volunteers and support of Christchurch Netball, two teams were established. In 1998 the KiwiAble team officially became part of the MANC club.

In the years that have followed we have had many a success. Players such as Belinda Colling, Maree Grubb, Sonia Butler, Kelly Hutton, Helen Mulligan, Cherie Irwin and Amanda Siave to name just a few have provided us with some awesome displays of netball skills.

One thing that hasn't changed in all these years is the purpose of the club and the immense satisfaction of seeing so many players enjoying the game of netball.
