Your voice. Your ideas. Your netball.

The Netball NT Youth Advisory Group (YAG) gives young people from across the Northern Territory a voice in the future of netball.

YAG brings together young people with different experiences of the game to share ideas, provide feedback, and contribute to initiatives that support young people across our netball community.

You don’t need to follow one particular netball pathway to be involved. YAG is for young people from across the Territory – from those who play netball at school or with their local club or association, to umpires, coaches, volunteers, and representative athletes.

The YAG Experience 
YAG is a space to speak up, listen to different perspectives, work together, and turn conversations about what matters to young people in netball into ideas and action.

As a YAG member, you may:

// Share your experiences and perspectives on netball in the Territory

// Provide feedback on programs, events, communications, and initiatives

// Contribute ideas for improving the experience of young people in netball

// Work with other YAG members to develop and deliver projects

// Connect with Netball NT staff, leaders, and people from across the wider netball community
YAG in Action 
YAG members don’t just talk about ideas – they have opportunities to bring them to life.

The YAG Player Passport, developed for the Netball NT Community Netball Carnival, is one example. YAG members helped create a series of activities and challenges designed to encourage players to meet new people, get involved, and make the most of their Carnival experience both on and off the court.

Projects like this give YAG members the opportunity to take an idea from discussion to something that can be experienced by the wider netball community.

Beyond the Game 
Being part of YAG is also an opportunity to develop skills and experiences that extend beyond the netball court.

Through discussions, projects, guest speakers, and working alongside other young people, members can build their confidence in communication, leadership, collaboration, problem-solving, and sharing their ideas.

YAG also creates opportunities to connect with people from different areas of netball and learn more about the many roles, pathways, and opportunities that exist within sport.

Previous YAG members have had the opportunity to hear from people including Netball Australia CEO Stacey West and Australian Diamond Laura Scherian, gaining insight into their experiences, careers, and perspectives on the game.
Being Part of YAG 
The Youth Advisory Group brings together young people from across the Northern Territory, so meetings are held online via Microsoft Teams.

The 2027 YAG will run from early 2027 through to the end of 2027, with members meeting approximately once a month on a Sunday afternoon for 90 minutes.

Members are encouraged to contribute to discussions, listen to and respect different perspectives, come prepared to share ideas, and work collaboratively with the group.

For members under 18, parent or guardian consent is required to participate.

Meet the 2025/26 Youth Advisory Group 

Our 2025/26 Youth Advisory Group brings together young people from different locations, clubs, associations, and areas of the game, each bringing their own experiences, ideas, and perspectives. Hear from some of our members about what YAG has meant to them, and meet the young people who make up our 2025/26 group.

"Being part of the Netball NT Youth Advisory Group has given me a space to learn, contribute, and make an impact on the future of netball. I’ve gained confidence in my communication, learned how to collaborate with purpose, and seen the power of youth voice in real decision-making spaces. I’ve loved working alongside other passionate young people and seeing our ideas genuinely valued.” - Kholo Moyo  |  Alice Springs Netball Association
