Our zone encompasses sixteen netball centres, delivering community netball events and competitions for over 45,000 registered players. We serve as the connection between Netball New Zealand and netball centres operating at a local level.

Our team work alongside the affiliated netball centres within our zone. The areas we support in, include:

  • Capability of governance and organisation structures
