Sport Volunteer Resources

Sport Volunteer Project

Created by Vicsport, Volunteering Victoria and Regional Sport Victoria, these resources and tools can help your club thrive with volunteer support, assisting local and community sporting clubs in their strategies and practices around volunteers.

The resources are divided into key topic areas to assist you no matter where you are on your volunteer journey, with simple and accessible information available for you to access.


More information is available on Vicsport.

We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of all the lands and waters where netball is played throughout Victoria and pay our respects to Elders past and present. We also wish to recognise the tremendous contribution Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people make to sport, and in particular netball in Victoria. We are committed to a journey of Reconciliation, working to break down barriers and ensuring equal opportunities for both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across our state. Netball Victoria is a proudly diverse and inclusive organisation, that actively celebrates LGBT+ diversity, inclusion and pride within the sport of netball throughout Victoria.
