As part of the changes to the national calendar because of the introduction of Suncorp Super Netball it was agreed that the 2016 Netball Awards should be deferred and held directly following Suncorp Super Netball. The profile of Netball is at it's strongest at the end of our major national league (as evidenced by the ANZ Championship) and this will allow netball to maximize this opportunity. Congratulations to Sharni Layton (ANZ Championship Player of the Year), Michelle Phippard (ANZ Championship Umpire of the Year) and Rosalee Jencke OAM (ANZ Championship Championship Coach of the Year)
