2015 New World Netball Volunteer Awards

Introduction

Netball New Zealand is pleased to be recognising the very best of netball volunteers around the country, who live this game.

Sponsors Message

New World understands that without the hard work of hundreds of volunteers at Zones, Centres and Clubs, Netball in New Zealand would not be the success it is today.  New World has again partnered with Netball New Zealand to celebrate the success of the most dedicated netball volunteers, by awarding them with National Honours.

Nomination Process

As in past years, there are four award categories; Coach, Administrator, Official and Youth Volunteer (please see full descriptions on page 3).

Many individuals could qualify in more than one category; however the nomination of a person may be for only one category each year. It is acknowledged that many individuals’ efforts are the result of several years of commitment and involvement, so a nomination may recognise the individual’s total contribution to netball, over the last few years.

In order to complete this process, Zones are asked to:

1. Read the nomination pack and consult with their centres to identify appropriate nominees - each Zone may complete this process as appropriate for their area.

2. Encourage nominees information to be entered online at the following link http://www.mynetball.co.nz/community-netball/volunteers/national-awards/online-nomination.html .

3. NNZ will send you all of the nominees in your Zone and you will select one from each category for NNZ.

All nomination forms must be received by NNZ by Monday 7^th September 2015

The judging and notification timeline:

1. Judging of the categories will take place before 30^th September 2015, and contact made with the winners and their Zones soon after.

2. Presentations to the winners of each category will take place at a Netball New Zealand Event.

3. Winners will travel and be accommodated with a guest to the Netball New Zealand Event in Auckland, compliments of New World.
