State Age Championships

The 2010 State Age Championships, promises to be one of the largest sporting events in the southern hemisphere, once again. To accommodate the ever growing number of teams entering the competition, for the first time in the competition's history the Netball NSW State Age Championships will be played across four divisions at four venues.

SWIFTS & STATE AGE – too good to be true. The NSW Swifts will be hosting the 2010 Preliminary Final at Newcastle Entertainment Centre on Sunday 4 July 2010 @ 2.50pm AEST. In light of this Netball NSW have created a draw to allow teams to enjoy the game live. A special team rate of $15 per person (for groups of 12 or more) has been created. Tell me more.

The Hunter region will have the honour of hosting this historic event with a contingent in excess of 300 teams are expected to make their way to the Hunter to compete.
