The Antilles Sports Club is a non-profit organization based in Montreal, Quebec with a membership made up mainly of individuals with a Caribbean background. The club's two primary sports are netball and basketball, with the occasional recreational sport of cricket and volleyball being played by other members. Members of the Antilles Netball Team have been participants of the National Netball Championships since 1976, when Quebec established its first provincial team. Antilles netball players are currently members of the Quebec Netball Provincial Team in both the Open and Under 23 divisions. The Club contains a number of qualified personnel with certification in coaching and umpiring. Currently, the club's netball program is coached by Marina Leigertwood, who has achieved the Club's status of World Player or Player of the Century.

The Antilles crest depicts a scene from the Antilles. It is a tranquil portrayal. The sea is calm and soothing and the coconut tree gently sways in the breeze. One can almost hear the crashing of the waves against the shore. On the white section of the concentric circles are three balls just waiting to be enjoyed by members of Antilles Sports Club.
The crest was newly designed by Mr. Ghazi Ghazouani on September 24, 2013.
