21-22 OCTOBER

PARTICIPANT HANDBOOK

WOLLONGONG

As Lord Mayor of the City of Wollongong, I am proud to be welcoming the Beach Netball series to our city again in 2017. Being the only destination for this event in NSW speaks volumes, in what we as a city, deliver for the participants and the sport in general.

North Wollongong Beach is an ideal setting for a great sport and a great event. Events such as the Beach Netball will bring colour and energy to our city’s foreshore over the two days, creating quite the spectacle, with more than 50 teams battling it out round robin style.

Netball is one of Australia’s largest participation sports and has more than 118,000 netballers in NSW, the Illawarra certainly doesn’t have a shortage in skilled netballers with over 3,300 playing taking to courts across the region each season.

It’s exciting for the city and the sporting community to have some of the best netballers in the world on our coast during the Beach Netball series.

Let me take this opportunity to welcome all participants, their family and friends to Wollongong. I hope that amongst all the seriousness of the competition you are able to find time to get out and explore the beauty of Wollongong’s natural attractions – the beaches, escarpment and gardens; and enjoy the cafés, bars and international cuisine.

I wish all the teams, organisers and spectators a successful and enjoyable weekend in Wollongong
