Under our charitable portfolio, SCALA commenced operating our Indigenous Diamonds Pathway Program (IDPP) in Townsville Queensland, at the end of 2021 to offer high performance netball training to talented Indigenous athletes. From that talented squad of athletes, our Indigenous Diamonds - Townsville netball team was formed which we entered into the region's premier league netball competition in 2022.

 

We are proud to say that our Indigenous Diamonds -Townsville team achieved history-making status as the first 'all-Indigenous' netball team to have ever competed in a women's premier league netball competition in Australia. 

 

In 2023, SCALA expanded its operations to Logan/Brisbane in south-east Queensland where our next generation of First Nations netball players successfully reached the semi-finals in the Greater Brisbane Netball League U18 division.  

 

SCALA also delivers:

• An Indigenous Mentoring Pathway Program (IMPP) for talented up-and-coming Indigenous netball players 

• An Indigenous Umpire Pathway Program (IUPP) for First Nations youth who aspire to advance through the levels in their umpiring journey. 

• An Indigenous Coach Pathway Program (ICPP) with our first mentee being an Indigenous male netball coach based in Dubbo, New South Wales
