Each year, the Netball Victoria Community Awards shine a light on the individuals in the netball community who go above and beyond to support our game.
From courtside champions to behind the scenes heroes, this year’s finalists reflect the heart and soul of netball in Victoria. Their dedication, energy and love for the game inspire those around them and help drive our thriving community of more than 117,000 members across the state.
Join us in celebrating their achievements. Winners will be revealed live at the Netball Victoria Awards on Sunday 19 October.
