Christchurch Netball

❤️🏐Christchurch Netball is proud to become the first Netball Centre in Aotearoa to affiliate with Special Olympics New Zealand

The affiliation builds on the work already happening through our popular No Limits Netball programme and supports our commitment to creating more opportunities for athletes of all abilities to participate, build confidence, connect and belong through netball.

We’re excited to continue growing inclusive opportunities alongside Special Olympics New Zealand.
