Sunbury Netball Association has taken home the Woolworths NetSetGo Centre of the Year award at the recent Netball Victoria Awards.
The club was awarded for its demonstrated commitment to delivering a fun, inclusive, and development-focused NetSetGo program.
With the support of passionate volunteers, dedicated coaches and a welcoming environment, the association has successfully introduced countless young players to netball, laying strong foundations for lifelong participation in the sport.
Netball Victoria said what sets Sunbury apart is its focus on enjoyment, skill-building, and teamwork, with older representative players actively involved to ensure every child feels supported, valued, and excited to return each week. The program promotes physical activity, community spirit, and personal growth.
The efforts from SNA have led to outcomes including increased participation, positive parent feedback, growing volunteer involvement, and visible confidence and development among young players.
Also from SNA, Melissa Crofts and Mel Crotty were both recognised as finalists, for Volunteer of the Year and Contribution to Coaching respectively.
Netball Victoria president Carol Cathcart congratulated all the winners.
“At Netball Victoria, our mission is to create and inspire that lifelong love of netball, and our vision is clear: for netball to be recognised as the greatest team sport in Victoria,” she said.
“Together, we are creating a sport where everyone can belong, and where netball feels like home, in whatever way you are connected.”
