It’s that time of year again, when we celebrate the incredible volunteers who make netball possible in our communities, week in and week out.

From coaches and officials to administrators, youth leaders and those always willing to lend a hand, our game simply wouldn’t happen without the time, energy and care of our volunteer community.

Take a minute to think about the people in your netball community:

• Is there someone who has stepped up this season?
• Who brings a positive attitude and truly understands what volunteering is all about?
• Who is always willing to help, no matter how big or small the task?

We know our volunteers don’t do it for recognition, but nominating someone is a meaningful way to acknowledge their contribution and say thank you.

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

Nominations close on Sunday, 30 August. Click here to nominate.
