South Coast Blaze Member and Founding Member

Since its formation in 1942, Illawarra Netball has established a tradition of outstanding service, not only to women and girls, but also to the region and the State. Illawarra has contributed players to NSW teams, thus affording opportunities for talented netballers to fulfil their potential. The continued growth and development of the Illawarra District Netball Association (IDNA) is a fitting tribute to those who have strived continually to ensure that netball became a force in the community.

IDNA was a founding member of South Coast Blaze in 2020.
