The 2022 Netball Victoria Community Awards finalists have been selected with members of our netball community recognised for their efforts and contribution to the sport across eight categories.
Our Victorian netball family is driven by the love and passion of every member, and the Awards are a fantastic way to highlight the lasting impact our members make each year.
Winners will be announced on Thursday 1 December – tune in to our online event on Netball Victoria’s Facebook page from 7pm to join the celebration.
