Volunteers

Volunteers will play a very important part at the Vitality Netball World Cup 2019, with approximately 450 roles being created to help stage the event. The Vitality Netball World Cup will be a thrilling 10 days of action on a global scale, none of which would be possible without the help of our fantastic volunteers – the Pivoteers!

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Vitality Netball World Cup 2019. The application window has now closed. Please note, if any additional future opportunities to volunteer arise as the tournament planning progresses, these will be communicated here.

The Pivoteers will be as pivotal to the Vitality Netball World Cup 2019 as the pivot is to the game of netball. Welcoming the world to an inspiring celebration of netball in our incredible host city of Liverpool, they will support the world’s best netball teams in their quest for glory.
