21st Koori Netball Tournament to showcase talent in inclusive environment

21st Koori Netball Tournament to showcase talent in inclusive environment
July 12, 2022

Registrations are now open for the 21st Koori Netball Tournament - a competition which brings Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal netballers from across NSW together.

Hosted in partnership with Charlestown Netball Association and Netball NSW, the tournament features six men’s and women’s divisions for adults and juniors, with teams allowed three non-Aboriginal players in an effort to promote reconciliation.

Making its return after two years of COVID-enforced postponements, this year will mark the 21st time the tournament has been held at Charlestown Netball Courts near Newcastle.

More than 1,500 Aboriginal netballers from across the State are expected to participate in the tournament being held on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th October.

NSW Office of Sport Chief Executive, Karen Jones said the tournament was an opportunity for Aboriginal netballers to showcase their talent and love of sport in a fun, competitive and inclusive environment.

“The Koori Netball Tournament is a great example of how sport can bring people together in a healthy, positive way to enhance reconciliation,” Jones said.

“The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant economic and social disruption, resulting in many sport competitions being cancelled, including the Koori Netball Tournament.

“2022 sees the event return and it’s fantastic to be able to celebrate its 21st anniversary.

“I encouraged all Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal netballers to register a team for a weekend of fun and inclusive competition.”
