We love to continue to acknowledge and celebrate long-serving members of our netball community!

Knowing there are a number of deserving candidates out there we are now asking schools, clubs, satellites and umpire groups to give some consideration towards compiling and submitting your nominations for 2025.

If you know someone who has made a valued contribution to netball, please look at our award criteria to nominate.

Qualifications for a Service Award shall be a significant contribution in administration, coaching, management and/or officials at Club, School, Umpire Group, Associate Member, or NWC level. The work itself must have been of an outstanding nature and the period of itself is not a qualification.

A Life Member nominee must have made an outstanding contribution to netball, with exceptional service in administration, coaching, management and/or officials at Club, School, Umpire Group or as an Associate Member within NWC and/or NNZ. The nominee must already hold a NWC Service Award at the time of nomination.

Please take due care to gather and provide as much information and precise dates as you can to enable the Service Award and Life Membership Committee to consider the nomination favourably and make a well-informed decision. Information provided is also utilised when presenting awards at the AGM held on Monday 1 December 2025.

Nominate online via our NWC Service Award & Life Member Nomination form

Nominations close Friday 31 October 2025.

Please direct any queries or clarifications to gm@netballwellington.co.nz
