NEWSLETTER #1

2025 has been off to a roaring start. All WBOP Zone departments are working hard, and we are seeing some amazing outcomes across the community. We have loved connecting with everyone in Centres, as part of NNZ projects, at coach and umpire workshops, when visiting competition days and player development programmes, and at regional sport functions too.

We continue to support strong links between Centres, and with NNZ, RST's and AVIS Magic for a connected and effective netball system, and we are excited to see so many sideline and participant behaviour initiatives of GoodSports and Positive Vibes Only active across the region.

Keep up the awesome mahi everyone! And thank you for all you do for your communities :)
