Our vision.

Our vision is to provide all local children and adults the opportunity to participate in the sport of netball.

Our mission is to promote, encourage and foster unity in our community netball club that allows its members to play netball and develop their netball skills in a fun, safe and fair environment, with the necessary equipment, facilities and personnel.

Our future is a club that embraces diversity and equality. A club that encourages and welcomes all children in the community to participate in the sport of netball. A club that creates an environment where children feel they belong to the greater community, to play with familiar friends and meet new friends. A safe environment to have fun.

Participation in sport is an opportunity for all involved to demonstrate kind and supportive behaviour. All participants have a responsibility for providing a safe, inclusive and enjoyable space when participating in netball. By ensuring coaches, parents and spectators are aware of the expectations around behaviour and code of conduct we will continue to ensure players have a positive and enjoyable netball experience.

Racial, verbal or physical abuse or intimidating, harassing behaviour experienced by anyone while participating in netball should always be reported. This can be done either directly through the WINC or to the BDNA officials when players are competing on match day.

Child Safety

West Ivanhoe Netball Club is strongly committed to providing and promoting a safe, positive, and empowering environment for children and young people. Proactive measures are in place to ensure children and young people enjoy environments and experiences that ensure their physical, cultural and emotional safety. The welfare of children is always our first priority and there is zero tolerance to child abuse.
