Volunteering
West Yorkshire Netball recognises that Netball simply wouldn’t happen in our County without the time, talent and expertise of the vast number of volunteers who support every level of the game.
There are so many different roles you can get involved in with netball. It all depends on what your motivations are, how much time you can commit and knowing where the opportunities are. To find out more about those opportunities, please visit the volunteering section on the England Netball website England Netball | Volunteer Strategy
As a County we wish to promote and support our netball volunteer network to be able to effectively recruit, retain, recognise and celebrate the incredible achievements to support us to achieve.
