Outside of the netball matches, the four days event will also feature aNetball All-Stars match on Mooloolaba Beach, a family fun day and a party with former Australian Diamonds Cath Cox and Sharelle McMahon and Suncorp Super Netball commentator Sue Gaudion.
Netball Australia Chief Executive, Marne Fechner said it’s exciting that the 10th anniversary of NetFest will be held on the Sunshine Coast, stating “from humble beginnings back in 2011, NetFest has grown into Australia’s biggest netball festival, and we’re thrilled to be bringing the netball nation together in what is unusual times.
“This is the 3rd year that NetFest will be hosted on the Sunshine Coast and we thank the Queensland Government via Tourism and Events Queensland and the Sunshine Coast Council for their support in helping Netball deliver this fantastic event in one of Australia’s most beautiful locations.”
