Netball Northern Ireland is an organisation and growing business which is ready to deliver the support that will enable the sport of Netball to flourish in Northern Ireland. It is committed to delivering services that support its members and will drive an agenda to help develop all aspects of the sport.

Our profile from finishing 8th at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and 10th at the 2019 Netball World Cup has inspired an abundance of women and girls to play our sport, at all levels. To successfully capitalise on this, we need to develop capacity within our clubs and workforce to allow a quality experience of netball in all environments.

We believe volunteers have a significant and meaningful contribution to make in how we achieve our vision of becoming a Top 8 National Team, supported by a strong school, club and league foundation. Delivering World Class events is an ambition of Northern Ireland as we look to provide our Participants, pathway and national athletes with the best and most professional experience possible.

With this in mind, Netball NI is NOW RECRUITING volunteers to be part of our NNI Events Working Group.
