Manhattan International Netball Club

Manhattan International Netball Club (MINC) was founded in 2000 by a group of women passionate about netball, with the goal of creating a community to play the sport in New York City. Today, we are proud to be the largest women’s netball club in the United States.

Our mission is to foster a social, inclusive, and positive environment where women from all over the world can connect through their shared love of netball, both on and off the court.

MINC was founded by women with a passion for the game of netball, looking to build a greater community in New York City.

About Us

MINC offers four key activities throughout the year: indoor training/summer skills, an intra-club league, national tournaments, and, of course, social events.

The club hosts weekly indoor training sessions through the Winter and summer skills sessions starting in June on Pier 26 along the Hudson River. Additionally, we run outdoor leagues in Brooklyn during the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Our members also compete in tournaments across the United States and enjoy a variety of social events throughout the year!

We welcome players of all skill levels, whether you're looking for a more social experience or a competitive challenge.

Training

Training is open to players of all levels and includes a warm-up, skills & drills, and game time on an indoor court.

Players can sign up for training sessions through the Kenko app.

Our training sessions are led by our amazing coach, Stacey.

Indoor Training: Lower East Side (Jan. - March & Sept. - Nov.)
Summer Skills: Pier 26, TriBeCa (June-August)
Time: Tuesdays at 7 PM

If you don’t see sign-ups on Kenko, we are likely on a break.

Outdoor League

MINC hosts a competitive intra-club league in the spring, summer, and fall on Saturday mornings in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Players are drafted into teams for each league, and for six weeks, they battle it out in full length netball games (4 x 15mins) against other MINC teams.

The league takes place outdoors on one of the few proper netball courts in NYC — at Lincoln Terrace Park in Crown Heights, conveniently located near the 2/4 train at Utica Avenue.

The latest details and sign-up information for the league are communicated via our WhatsApp group, and players can sign up as squad members through Kenko.

2025 League Dates:

Spring: March 8, 2025 - April, 12 2025
Summer: July 12, 2025 - August 23, 2025
Fall: October 4, 2025 - November 8, 2025

Tournaments

MINC regularly sends teams of different skill levels to various tournaments across North America throughout the year. We offer our most competitive players the chance to compete at the highest level, while providing our more social players plenty of fun both on and off the court. In the last few years, we’ve traveled to cities such as Montreal, LA, Chicago, DC, New Orleans, and Austin for these tournaments.

Sign-ups for travel tournaments are opened up to MINC members a few months before each event, with selection based on player interest, positions, and skill level.

Social events

MINC is proud to be known as one of the most sociable netball clubs, and we take great pride in this reputation.

We host multiple large social events throughout the year, allowing the entire club to come together and celebrate, whether that’s singing our hearts out at karaoke, taking a team hike up at Cold Spring, or enjoying a beach day at Far Rockaway.

You’ll also find MINC girls grabbing brunch after league or enjoying drinks after Summer Skills, watching the sunset on the Hudson River most weeks. Our community is large and welcoming.

Many of our members join MINC new to NYC, looking for a place to connect, and we provide just that. In fact, many of our MINC teammates become lifelong friends — we even know that our original founding members are still friends to this day, 25 years later.

MINC includes players of various skill levels — some of our players have not played since high school whereas others played regularly for a club before coming to NYC. For League and Tournaments, we do have some additional playing requirements (see these sections).
