Comets Policies for Growing our Sport
Netball is an exciting sport, always evolving. Once a safe place for women to play sport, increasingly change has to provide a different future for netball to grow and be competitive with other sports. We are volunteer driven which should enrich our sport with talent freely given by women for the most part who bring career skills to our organisation.
To grow beyond our traditional boundaries Comets do not support:
-
negative policies created to discourage specific volunteers, or
-
policies & behaviours that prevent robust debate
Comets club promotes:
-
transparency in our dealings
-
open decision-making constructed & presented with a breadth of accurate information to prevent destructive policies
-
​welcoming everyone, embracing diversity, providing opportunities, regardless of background, gender, age or lifestyle
-
challenging stereotypes and courage in dealing with bullies
-
supporting new versions of netball, Mixed teams, Mens, Walking Netball
