Beach Netball is coming to Melbourne! 

Beach Netball, which launched nationally in April 2016, is now coming to the sports 
capital, taking place at the Port Melbourne foreshore. Beach Netball is a modified 
and simpler version of one of the highest participation sports in the country. Involving 
women’s, mixed and kids’ competitions, supported through the Port Melbourne 
Netball Club, Beach Netball provides a great workout, is low impact and really easy 
to pick up. 

Port Melbourne will play host to 100 teams from around Australia, New Zealand and 
South East Asia set to take on the annual event from 18-20 November. 

Beach Netball is a festival of fun, fitness, health and wellbeing with an electric 
atmosphere, set to a soundtrack provided by some of the countries best DJ’s! 

Catering for everyone, each event includes a mass NETFIT Netball class, a celebrity 
match, food, music and the Official Beach Netball Party. 

“I’m pumped to be involved in Beach Netball,” said Australian Diamond and 
Melbourne Vixen Premiership player, Liz Watson. “It’s new, it’s fun and it’s 
celebrating the best sport, in the greatest sporting city. I’m looking forward to having 
my family and friends involved in the competition also, they’ve probably watched me 
play enough.” 

NETFIT Netball founder and former Melbourne Vixens and NSW Swift player Sarah 
Wall said, “Beach Netball is changing the game, and gives all ages, male and female, 
the opportunity to get involved. What better place to host the event, then Port 
Melbourne foreshore, where all the action happens. I can't wait for an end of season 
celebration on the beach.” 

All teams will play a round robin tournament including finals on Saturday, with the 
Beach Netball 4 Kids round robin event happening on Sunday. This year’s off-court 
action will feature the much-anticipated Beach Netball Party for the over 18’s. 

Tickets are on sale at beachnetball.com.au from 16th June 2016 

Stay tuned for further announcements of the Western Australian, South Australian 
and Queensland events. The NSW leg takes place in Wollongong on 14th – 16th 
October 2016.
