Entries are now open for the Marion Smith Netball Championships 2009 for people with learning disabilities.
The competition is now in its fourth year and will take place at The Priory School in Hitchin, Hertfordshire - the home of England Netball.
This season’s competition will be split into two age groups, under 17 and over 17 and is open to affiliated and non-affiliated netball clubs and schools across the country.
The Marion Smith Netball Championship is in memory of Marion Smith, a positive and inspiring person who led England Netball’s work in the field of disability sport and played an instrumental part in setting up netball championships whilst improving netball opportunities for disabled people.
Organiser of the event, Alice Chadfield, said: “This competition provides an enjoyable day for players and spectators alike and we are encouraging as many teams as possible to take part. You don’t even have to be affiliated! It couldn’t be easier to enter – simply visit the competition section of the England Netball website and download an application form. We look forward to seeing you on the 13th!”
