Capital Darters 

The Capital Darters mark the proud return of Canberra’s elite representative netball team, rebranded and relaunched into competition in 2022.

Formerly known as the Canberra Darters, who competed in the Australian Netball League (ANL) from 2008 to 2016, the Capital Darters continue a strong legacy of high-performance netball in the ACT.

Competing in the Super Netball Reserves competition, the Capital Darters play a crucial role in Netball ACT’s performance pathway, providing local athletes with a clear link from state representation to the Suncorp Super Netball League, the pinnacle of Australian netball. The team embodies dedication, growth, and opportunity for the ACT’s emerging talent.
