Thunder Team Announcement!

West Coast Men's & Mixed Netball Association (WCMMNA) recently held trials at the Gold Netball Centre to select Athletes to represent Western Australia at the Australian Men's & Mixed Netball Association Championships, in Perth 2023.


A solid turnout from the WA Netball Community saw fierce competition challenging for team selection in the West Coast Thunder State Program. With hope on the horizon of representing the West at the first home competition since 2007, we are hungrier and more determined than ever before to challenge for a national title on home soil across several divisions.


The Association is excited to announce the Thunder teams for 2023:
