When netball representatives from around Australia gather for a national conference next weekend, number one item on the agenda is the recommendations of the Independent Sport Panel on the Future of Sport in Australia.
Netball Australia CEO Kate Palmer said that the national conference was a perfect forum for the sport’s decision makers to debate the two most critical aspects of the report: the national sports policy framework and the definition of sporting success.
“We need to discuss what it means for netball but also what it means for the sport industry overall.”
“Much of this report is common sense. Australia deserves a better system. One that can deliver both elite and participation outcomes driven by a more professional sport industry.
“I’m pleased that the report makes all levels of the industry accountable for delivering from grass roots to the elite level.”
