Apologies, for resending Newsletter #1, this is the correct newsletter you should've received.

Netball WBOP Zone Newsletter #2

As we move through another busy season, it is inspiring to see the positive spirit of community netball on display across our region. From players and coaches to umpires, volunteers, whānau and supporters, it is the teamwork, sportsmanship and hours of work behind the scenes that continue to make our game so special.

In this edition, we share updates from coach and umpire development and pathways, remind you about the upcoming Voice of Participant Survey, and highlight support available for Centre facility planning and development and Positive Vibes Only campaigns. We reinforce the importance of safe, inclusive and welcoming netball experiences, and we talk about NetballSmart in the community too. 

We wish all players, coaches, management, officials and volunteers attending the 2026 Netball New Zealand U18 Championships in Christchurch all the best.

As always, thank you to everyone who delivers netball every week and fosters a love for our game.
