History
Scarborough Womens' Basketball Club was formed in 1952 by three sets of parents (the Moncks, Limbs and Dixons) trying to keep their daughters involved in sport after leaving school.
The club trained at Doubleview Primary School and played at various venues around the inner Perth metropolitan area. In 1961 the Matthews Netball Centre in Floreat Park was opened and all teams had a central playing arena.
In the early 1970s the name of the game in Australia was changed to Netball to bring it in line with other Commonwealth countries thus altering our name to Scarborough Netball Club.
In 1993, Scarborough Netball Club joined the Scarborough Sportsmens' Club and relocated to train at the tennis courts on Deanmore Road where the club remained until 2001 before returning to Doubleview Primary School.
The club has fluctuated in numbers over the years, peaking at 23 teams (10 senior and 13 Junior teams). In 2010 there are 9 senior teams and 6 junior teams competing in the Perth Netball Association competition.
Over the years many notable players have passed through our ranks, some have made State selection (Rose Farley, Judy Pockrass, Kaye Starkey, Cathy Devon, Sarah Moore, Lyn Eakins, Fran Brewer, Janette Browne, Diane Lavater as players and Tess Hill and Shirley Badge as coaches), others State League selection - Beth Oldfield and Anita Putt (nee Browne) as players, Marg Logan, Laura Van Grootel (nee Fagan) and Cherie Koosache as coaches.
