Netball New Zealand and Cadbury, our Official Volunteer Partner, are pleased to be acknowledging the very best of our Community Netball volunteers. Who at your Netball Centre couldn’t you be without? Who is always putting up their hand to help out?

There are five categories a volunteer can be nominated for:

• Volunteer Coach of the Year
• Volunteer Official of the Year
• Volunteer Administrator of the Year
• Youth Volunteer of the Year
• Community Volunteer Champion of the Year

The full ‘Category Descriptions & Judging Criteria’ (including the definition of a volunteer and the age limits for the youth category) can be found here.
