Our Story

26 Years of Community Sport

Northcote Indoor Sports opened its doors in Thornbury in 1998 with a single goal: give the local community a place to play, compete, and connect. That goal has not changed.

Northcote Indoor Sports has grown steadily from a single-sport facility into a multi-sport hub running organised social competitions across indoor cricket, netball, indoor soccer, and beach volleyball. The venue operates five evenings a week, Monday through Friday, welcoming players of every age and ability level.

Over 26 seasons Northcote Indoor Sports has watched beginners become regulars, social sides turn into serious teams, and friendships form that last well beyond the final whistle. The facility at 338 Mansfield St remains the anchor of sport in Thornbury.

What Drives Us

Everything Northcote Indoor Sports does comes back to community, access, and quality. These principles have shaped the venue since 1998.
