Netball Australia will join forces with San Remo Macaroni Company in playing a leading role in promoting the importance of healthy eating and an active involvement in sport.
In a major sponsorship deal, San Remo will support the Australian Netball Team, the Athlete’s Foot National Netball Championships, the trans-Tasman ANZ Championship and take up the naming rights to the NetSetGO! junior development program aimed at 5-10 year olds.
“Our support of netball is an exciting and important step for San Remo in communicating some of our core beliefs,” San Remo Managing Director, Mr Maurice Crotti said.
“We believe that San Remo should be encouraging healthy, balanced eating habits and helping to ensure we have a healthy nation of children.”
Netball Australia CEO, Kate Palmer said the sponsorship would provide opportunities to promote both the sport and the importance of a healthy, active lifestyle in the community.
“We are delighted to be working with San Remo and recognise the natural fit between the healthy eating objectives of San Remo and our healthy lifestyle objectives,” Kate Palmer said.
San Remo will also work with nutritionists and Netball Australia to develop kid-friendly healthy recipes using pasta that encourages a balanced diet of carbohydrates, fruit and vegetables that are low in fat.
“Whether you are an elite sports person or part of an average Australian family, pasta is a healthy source of carbohydrate in a balanced diet,” Maurice Crotti said.
