From local courts to the state stage, netball in Victoria is built on the people who show up, lift others up and make our game what it is today.
The 2026 Netball Victoria Community Awards are a chance to celebrate the people, teams and communities who make our sport so special, recognising achievements across all levels of the game.
From the Victorian Netball League and our Victorian State Team to the Victorian First Nations State Team, Victorian All Abilities Team and the many clubs, associations, coaches, umpires, teachers and volunteers who bring netball to life, these awards shine a light on the incredible contributions happening across our state.
Behind every achievement is a community of people whose passion, dedication and generosity help create a game where everyone can belong and thrive.
Join us in celebrating our 2026 finalists and the positive impact they have on netball across Victoria. Winners will be announced live at the Netball Victoria Awards on Sunday 18 October.
