Supporting the Nelson Netball Community
Supporting the Nelson Netball Community
At CLM Richmond, we're passionate about supporting local sport and helping our community stay active, healthy and connected. That's why we're incredibly proud of our long-standing partnership with Nelson Netball – one of the region's largest and most vibrant sporting organisations.
Our connection with Nelson Netball goes well beyond sponsorship. Many of our own team members are actively involved in the sport as players, coaches and umpires, so we understand firsthand the dedication, teamwork and commitment that netball brings to our community. It's this shared passion that makes our partnership so meaningful.
Over the years, we've worked alongside Nelson Netball to support players, coaches and umpires both on and off the court. From delivering pre-season fitness sessions in the gym and pool, to leading warm-ups during Carnival Weeks, we're committed to helping participants prepare, perform and recover throughout the season.
Our partnership is about more than fitness, it's about investing in the local sporting community and creating opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to thrive. Whether we're supporting representative teams as they prepare for competition or helping individuals build confidence through movement, we're proud to play a part in the continued success of Nelson Netball.
“At Nelson Netball, we know that our greatest achievements don't happen alone - they happen because of the incredible people and organisations who choose to stand alongside us. Our partnership with CLM is one that we value immensely. From the very beginning, they've shared our vision of creating opportunities for people to be active, connected, and part of a thriving community.
CLM's support goes far beyond sponsorship. They genuinely care about the wellbeing of our members and the positive impact that sport has on people's lives. Their investment helps us continue to provide quality programmes, support our volunteers, develop our players, coaches and umpires, and create an environment where everyone feels welcome, valued and inspired to be involved.
We are incredibly grateful for the relationship we've built with the team at CLM. Together, we're not only strengthening the game of netball in our region - we're helping build a healthier, more connected community. Thank you for believing in what we do and for being such an important part of the Nelson Netball whānau” - Ani-Marie Waitai, General Manager, Nelson Netball.
And of course, no netball event would be complete without a visit from one of our biggest supporters, Kori the Penguin! Kori loves making guest appearances at the courts, bringing plenty of smiles, high-fives and encouragement while cheering on players throughout the season.
"One of the best things about this partnership is that it feels like we're supporting our own community, because in many ways we are. Several of our team are actively involved in netball, so we understand the commitment that goes into every training, game and tournament. It's a privilege to be able to give back to a sport that means so much to our staff and our wider community." – Byron Hull, Fitness Centre Coordinator & Regional Fitness Manager.
As part of our partnership, registered Nelson Netball players, coaches and umpires can also access exclusive membership opportunities at Fitness by CLM Richmond, making it even easier to train, recover and perform throughout the season.
We're incredibly proud of the relationship we've built with Nelson Netball over the years and look forward to continuing to support the players, coaches, umpires, volunteers and families who make the sport such an important part of our region.
Here's to another fantastic season of netball, we'll see you at the courts!
