Kylie Hanson

Registrar

Kylie Hanson, Registrar of the Bundaberg Netball Association, began her netball journey in the 1980s playing for local Bundaberg club Glenmac. She later transitioned to Bundaberg softball, a move that saw her entire family become deeply involved in the sport at all levels. For several years, Kylie’s father served as President of Bundaberg Softball, her mother was a club treasurer, and her younger sister also progressed through the ranks as a player. It was during this time that Kylie developed a strong appreciation for the vital role families and volunteers play in supporting and sustaining community sport. Kylie’s daughter commenced playing netball seven years ago, prompting Kylie to once again become actively involved, volunteering across many areas of the sport. Her son is also engaged with Bundaberg Netball, contributing through roles such as managing social media pages and running the coffee shop. Kylie’s message is Volunteering in community sport can at times feel overwhelming, but the rewards gained through creating lifelong friendships, working as a team whilst supporting the players and wider community make it incredibly worthwhile.
