CHARLTON A-grade netball coach Kim Fitzpatrick's outstanding commitment to her sport and club has won official recognition.
The Navies' 2016 premiership coach has been voted Netball Victoria's volunteer of the year.
Fitzpatrick won the award ahead of three other finalists, with the announcement made at Saturday night's Netball Victoria Community Awards in Melbourne.
The awards recognised outstanding contributions to the sport of netball by individuals, groups and volunteers, who on a regular basis go above and beyond what is required to facilitate the success of the sport at all levels.
“We are delighted to be able to come together to recognise the outstanding achievements of the award winners and to celebrate being involved in such a long-standing and successful sport,” Netball Victoria CEO Rosie King said..
“The spirit of support, collegiality and the good will across all levels of contributors is an absolute credit to the sport,” King said.
“I have met many people over the past several weeks who down play their efforts despite working with tight timelines, great pressure and increasing demands which most times require them to step up and go the extra mile.”
Heathcote District Football Netball League club Leitchville-Gunbower was a finalist in the inclusive netball community of the year category.
