A.C.N.A. Moving Forward
With great sadness I have confirmed that the A.C.N.A. Championships have folded and will no longer be run. This is very disappointing and something that South Australia and all Life Members of this amazing competition are all devastated about.
2014 INFORMATION
It is with great disappointment we are not holding the Catholic Schools Girls Netball Championships this year.
We are hoping we can once again establish this fantastic and competitive competition between the states in 2015.
Thanks for your understanding in this matter and please know we have done what we can to try and make this carnival go ahead this year.
Thanks in anticipation
The South Australian Catholic School Girls Sports Association
History
The ACNA have a very long and proud history as an Association dating back to 1953 when the first Australian Catholic Girls Basketball Association Championships were held. Teams at that stage were selected from the state NCGM or YCW Associations which were senior competitions for girls who had left school.
When girls basketball became netball in 1971 naturally the Championships became Netball Championships. At that time girls from Catholic schools were not permitted to stand for selection in State Schoolgirls teams, so a Championship commenced in 1980 for these players.
Auckland, in New Zealand entered the competition in 1989 and consequently the Championships were renamed the Australasian Catholic Netball Championships. There have been many young Catholic girls that have played in our Championships over the years and have then gone on to become Coaches, Managers and even Life Members. We hold a very proud history including players such as Catherine Cox and Liz Ellis who have gone on to play for Australia after competing as school girls in our Championships.
Our Vision for the future is to attract more States, Territories and Australasian Countries to join our Championships and to create an amazing environment for Students, Officials and Supporters.
