United States Netball Association,
The City of Fort Wayne would be honored to host the 2013 United States Netball Association National Championships. Visit Fort Wayne’s board of directors and staff are highly committed to providing a championship experience to the participating Netball leagues and their fans.
Fort Wayne was recently rated the #1 city for minor league sports in America! Along with that we have a very strong track record for hosting regional, national, and international sporting events. A few recent examples include USA Roller Sports Nationals, NCAA Hockey and Volleyball Championships, USA Curling Nationals, and many others.
Centrally located Fort Wayne sits at almost the exact midpoint between Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, and Cleveland. This allows for even and fair travel time for all participating leagues.
Our community enthusiastically embraces sporting events off all kinds, and we truly take pride in our world class facilities.
Thank you for your consideration or our bid to host the 2013 USANA National Championships in the beautiful Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Sincerely,
