Welcome
City-Metro is a low cost netball club that plays at the CitySide Sports Competition in Clifton Hill.
The club is designed to place together individuals that do not have a team to play in. Many friendships have been created from this structure, with the club boasting 20 teams and many premierships!
History
City-Metro Sports Club commenced in January 2007 playing netball with CitySide Sports at the Mayors Park Tennis / Netball Centre in Clifton Hill (Collingwood). The club was created with a sole focus of providing individuals of all levels to be able to play without having to create/enter their own teams.
Originally the teams were simply named according to which division they played in (eg. City-Metro A, City-Metro B) and all players wore a white t-shirt. In the Autumn 2007 season with 7 teams entered there was a need to be able to recognise the teams individually and each team was named a colour (eg. City-Metro Black, City-Metro Red).
The Spring 2007 season saw some more major changes to the club, with the introduction of seasonal fees, new uniforms and new names. Teams were able to pick their own team name (eg. City-Metro Chaos, City-Metro Rebels) and a new green t-shirt uniform with the City-Metro logo was worn by all players. The club began charging seasonal fees which were due each half of the season at $60 per player. This allowed for players to have a night off and CitySide Sports would find a fill in who could play for free.
Over 2008 the Club has grown to a steady 13 teams and now has tallied 10 Premierships in total!
