Our Story
Amsterdam Netball Club (ANC) was founded in 2014 by a group of netball-loving expats who were determined to bring the game they loved to the Netherlands. At the time, netball was virtually unknown here - but their passion and community spirit laid the foundations for the country’s first official netball club.
What began as a handful of players meeting for casual sessions has grown into a thriving club of more than 50 regular members. Today, ANC is home to a diverse, international community of players who share a love of sport, teamwork, and friendship.
Who We Are Today
ANC is a welcoming space for anyone who wants to get involved in netball – whether you’re completely new to the game or a seasoned player. Our members come from all over the world, bringing different experiences and skill levels, but with one thing in common: the belief that sport is better when shared.
-
International community - our players represent many countries, making ANC a very diverse sports club.
-
Active and inclusive - we run twice weekly training sessions designed for fun, fitness, and skill development.
-
Competitive spirit - for those who want to test their skills, we compete in friendly and competitive matches and tournaments across Europe, often finishing in the top three.
-
Social connection - beyond the court, our members love getting together for pub nights, brunches, and seasonal socials.
Our Mission is to:
Offer a friendly, safe and inclusive environment to all our members
Encourage members to grow and evolve their netball skills
Develop netball in the Netherlands by setting up a national league
