Seven years ago, Sunshine Coast Lightning emerged as a remarkable joint venture between the Melbourne Storm Rugby League Club and the University of the Sunshine Coast, becoming a key player of the Suncorp Super Netball league. From its inception, one of the Club’s core values has been to serve as a beacon for the community. Throughout the years, Lightning has remained steadfast in their commitment to this value — seamlessly integrating themselves into the fabric of the Sunshine Coast region.

Netball, with its emphasis on teamwork, leadership, and inclusivity, has the power to uplift entire communities. Our vision is to harness this potential and create lasting impact through a range of meaningful programs. We’re dedicated to fostering community engagement, empowering aspiring athletes, and making netball accessible for all.

Sunshine Coast Lightning understands the importance of its role in the community. The athletes embrace the responsibility to make a positive contribution to the Sunshine Coast community, to be role models for the next generation, and to lead by example.
