2024-25 Awards
Netball Scotland’s Annual Awards is our chance to shine a spotlight on the incredible volunteers, clubs, teams, and individuals who are the heartbeat of our sport.
As the Governing Body, we’re proud to celebrate those who give their time, talent, and passion to grow netball at every level – from schools and clubs to districts, regions, and the national stage. This event is a moment to honour the dedication and impact of those who make netball thrive across Scotland.
