If you see an email from your local Netball Centre inviting you to complete the Voice of Participant Survey, please take a few minutes to share your thoughts. Your feedback plays an important role in shaping the future of netball and improving the experience of everyone involved in our game.

The Voice of Participant Survey, also known as the VOP, was launched by Sport NZ in 2016 to help NSOs better understand the experiences of their participants. By gathering feedback directly from our players, parents, volunteers, coaches, and officials, we gain valuable insights into what is working well and where improvements can be made. This helps ensure we continue to create positive, welcoming, and enjoyable netball experiences for all.

Every response contributes to a clearer picture of what matters most to our netball community. Whether you've had a fantastic season or have suggestions for improvement, your feedback is valuable.

So, if the Voice of Participant survey lands in your inbox, please take the time to have your say. Together, we can ensure we continue to strive for a positive, inclusive and supportive future of our sport.
