Whangārei netball fans and supporters have the chance to get help from ANZ on the back of the second season of ANZ Premiership action.

To celebrate the start of the new season, ANZ is calling for applications for assistance that will help netballers achieve the goals they've set out.

The support on offer isn't just limited to kit. In the past high performance netball gear, expert coaching, court and club makeovers and dream experiences have been given out.

Last year Whangārei's Christian Renewal School applied for assistance through the programme and received new bespoke netball posts.

Over the past five years ANZ has supported teams, clubs, schools and players all over New Zealand to the value of nearly $500,000.

In 2017 one lucky young player was granted the opportunity to be the mini-manager of an ANZ Premiership team for a day as a reminder to continue working hard and not give up on your netball dreams.

A long-serving coach was surprised by stars of ANZ Premiership and awarded a trip to watch the Silver Ferns play in Australia, as a thank you for her commitment and inspiration to her teams over the years.

ANZ's Sue McGregor said they want to support netball from the ground up.

"We are proud to support netball at every level, from grassroots right up to the elite ANZ Premiership and Silver Ferns.

"We know sometimes all you need is just that little bit of extra help to achieve your goals, so we are committed to helping as many netball fans as we can."
