Biggest ever Spar Netball Championships in Joburg from Monday
Thousands of netballers will gather in Johannesburg from 5 August for the biggest SPAR national championships ever to be held.
The success of the SPAR Proteas at the recent Netball World Cup (NWC) in Liverpool had South Africans talking netball as never before.
At the end of the tournament, the city of Liverpool officially handed custody of the tournament to the city of Cape Town, host of NWC 2023.
As South Africa starts the countdown to 2023, thousands of netballers will gather in Johannesburg next week for the biggest SPAR national championships ever to be held, in line with the determination of Netball South Africa (NSA) President Cecilia Molokwane to make netball accessible to as many people as possible.
Forty-two senior teams and 32 Under-21 sides have been entered for the tournament, which will be played at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) from Monday, 5 August to Friday, 9 August.
The finals will be played at the Wits University Sports Centre on Saturday.
The Senior and Under-21 teams have been divided into A and B sections, with nine teams in the Senior A section and eight in the Under-21 A-section. The B sections have been divided into six groups in the Senior tournament and four in the Under-21 competition. Matches in the A-sections will be played on a round robin basis, with the top four teams taking part in the play-offs.
