Lambeth Invitational Adult Netball Competition Sunday 26 April
24 April 2009
Netball players from across the borough will be coming together to contest the first ever Lambeth Invitational Adult Netball Competition in Kennington Park on Sunday.
More than 180 women representing 18 teams will pit their skills in a knockout competition, all hoping to become Lambeth’s first borough wide netball champions.
The competition has been organised by Lambeth Council's Sports and Recreation team, which runs "Welcome Back to Netball" sessions for women aged between 14 and 60 years old every week at Kennington Park and Crown Lane Primary School. The sessions are designed to provide a fun and relaxed environment for women who want to boost their fitness and get back into sport.
Bisi Alao, Lambeth Council Community Netball Coach, said:
"Netball is a really sociable game and the sessions we run are designed to be a relaxed and fun way for women to get fit and make new friends. The sessions are really popular with women of all ages, and we get a lot of women coming who played netball at school, have had children are now looking to take up the sport again after a gap. It's the first time we've organised a borough-wide competition and we hope it really takes off so that it becomes and annual event."
Photographers are welcome to cover the competition, which kicks off at midday.
If you would like to attend please contact Bisi Alao on 07982 705 395.
The 'Welcome Back to Netball' sessions are held every Monday from 5.30pm-7pm at Kennington Park Muga, and every Wednesday at Crown Lane Primary School. Cost £1.
Lambeth Council spent £1.2 million on a range of new facilities at Kennington Park in 2007. The council has created a new multi-use games area (Muga) at the park, improved the astro-turf pitch and upgraded the tennis and netballs courts.
