WCNA's Marg Morgan has long wanted to run a competition as part of the Monday night training sessions at Warrnambool stadium.
But the challenge has been having enough numbers.
Morgan said WCNA now had enough participants for four teams and games of two halves each week.

Participants' carers also take up positions on the court.
The association hosted the first round of games on Monday during the session which runs for about an hour.
Morgan said there was a ladder and there would be a grand final at the end of the year.
The all-abilities program started late March and will go through to mid-November.
Morgan said four female players had tried out for the Victorian all-abilities team for the Marie Little Shield (MLS) national competition.
The MLS is a netball competition for women with an intellectual disability.
Morgan said try-outs were held during the past month and players were waiting to hear if they were selected this week.
Meanwhile, selections for the 13 and under and 15 and under association championships teams start on Friday at 5pm at Warrnambool stadium.
Morgan explained participants must have been playing in WCNA competitions in the past 12 months or the Christmas Cup to be eligible for WCNA selection.
