Netball

Macedon Cats Football Netball club prides itself on fielding strong netball sides and has experienced a high degree of success across all netball grades since the commencement of netball within the competition.

We have four representative sides; A grade, B grade, C grade and our under 19’s. Our teams train once a week on a Thursday night and play on Saturdays between April and September. All of our players are coached by a highly experienced coaching panel and are encouraged to get the best out of themselves both on and off the court.

Coaches

Macedon Cats Member

Ciara Stewart

Ciara holds a Netball Coaching development accreditation, is a Primary School teacher and a mother of two beautiful girls Millie and Piper. She has been the head coach of Macedon Football Netball Club since 2016 and has coached both the A grade and B grade teams to a final finish since being with the club. Ciara’s greatest achievement is coaching and playing in the 2018 Premiership A grade team.

Macedon Cats A grade featured in a grand final in 2016 losing by just the1 goal, a preliminary final in 2017, won the premiership flag in 2018 and lost the grand final by 1 goal again in 2019. The same core 8 players have played in every grand final team, as Ciara has managed to retain these players who began playing with the club since 2016.

The success continued with the Macedon B grade team finishing in the top 3 since 2016 and making the grand final in 2017 and 2018. Unfortunately, the good fortune was not to be and the girls walked away runners up. Ciara devotes a lot of her time to netball and has made many good friends through her involvement with PV Comets and Macedon Cats. Her commitment to player development, team work and success is what makes her the coach we want at Macedon FNC.
