Club Captains

Being selected as a Vipers Netball Club Captain is a special honour and an achievement to be incredibly proud of. Club Captains play an important role in representing the voice of our players and helping strengthen the culture of our club.

Captains are positive role models who help bring our club values to life — community, teamwork, sportsmanship and inclusiveness. They support players across all age groups, help create a welcoming and enjoyable club environment, and work closely with the Vipers Management Committee to ensure all members feel connected and supported.

For the 2026 season, Vipers Netball Club will appoint both a Junior Club Captain and a Senior Club Captain.
