The core strength of Netball and its success is the phenomenal voluntary effort which goes into running and governing the sport. The game continues to impact the lives of many generations of New Zealanders who freely and actively give their time to the sport. As the number one team sport for females in New Zealand, Netball’s popularity is growing and the WON Plan has been developed to ensure the safeguarding of Netball into the future. Well-established facilities and organisations need to be capable of delivering the game to whomever wants to play and at all levels. Netball development occurs in clubs, schools, Centres and Zones and the WON Plan focuses on ensuring the capability of delivering more support and training as well as alignment to the agreed priorities for Netball. The WON Plan highlights the shared outcomes for Netball, clarity on how we measure success, while ensuring we have a consistent set of national strategies and prioritising national projects to guide investment in Netball. With the WON Plan in place, New Zealanders will live this game as they have never lived it before.
