Scottish Thistles and Strathclyde Sirens Athlete joins World Netball ‘Voice of the Athlete’ group
29th June 2021
Following a recruitment campaign in April 2021 which attracted athletes from all World Netball Regions, Scottish Thistles and Strathclyde Sirens Athlete, Emily Nicholl was successfully selected to join the first World Netball ‘Voice of the Athlete’ group.
Under its core strategic pillar, ‘Govern’, World Netball highlights the importance of working collaboratively with those that live and breathe netball every day in order to develop the sport. The Voice of the Athlete Working Group will begin this process by working together throughout 2021 to determine a suitable framework for a future Athletes Commission, which will be established following recommendations by the Working Group to the World Netball Board.
The Working Group consists of current international athletes with at least 3-years’ international playing experience and have been endorsed by their Member/Regional Federation or Executive Board. The athletes have been selected to ensure representation across the 5 World Netball Regions across teams ranked 1-5, 6-20, and 21+.
