What do all these people have in common you ask?? The list you see are names of people who have represented at an elite level internationally some have gone on to Coach and give back and some are still playing but the most beautiful common factor is they are all SAMOAN there are so many many more ...

After being involved with College Premier Netball attending Uniss, U15's U17s U19s Nationals over the years and watching the Premier grades at Centres throughtout the Country it always amazes me the amount of Samoans playing Netball here in NZ.

The Samoa Netball Festival Dec 7th is a tournament where we can all come together to celebrate being Samoan and celebrate the game we love.

There are spaces still available so plse enter a team message us here and I will send you a registration form and if you havent already like the new Samoa Netball Festival page. If you an INDIVIDUAL looking for a team message me and i may be able to point you in the direction of a team

Faafetai lava 🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸
