Christchurch Netball has launched the Centre Pass Fund, a new initiative designed to reduce financial barriers and open more doors for tamariki, rangatahi, coaches and game officials across Ōtautahi to participate, grow and thrive through netball. The fund provides individualised support for those who may otherwise miss out; whether it’s a young person trying netball for the first time, an athlete progressing into a representative programme, or a coach or game official taking their next development step.

We believe everyone deserves the chance to take the court. The Centre Pass Fund supports players, coaches and game officials who may otherwise miss out due to cost. Applications are submitted online and reviewed monthly by Christchurch Netball’s Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Group.


​​​​​​​Who can apply?

  • Players
  • Coaches
  • Game officials
  • Individuals, families, clubs & schools


What can be supported? 

  • Programme or competition costs
  • Representative opportunities
  • Equipment or essential gear
  • Development opportunities

​​​​​​​

Recommendations are then made to the General Manager, with decisions based on individual circumstances and the funds available at the time. The Centre Pass Fund is powered by our community, with every contribution helping more people access the sport they love. Donations can be made from as little as $10, and contributions of $500 or more will be recognised with a permanent Team Effort ball displayed at the Netball Sports Centre.
