Bid to revive netball
GAUTENG - The declining fortunes of netball could soon be reversed if the outcomes of the forth coming revival indabas are positive.
Netball could soon be back on the pitch in full force if the current initiatives to revive the sport yield fruit.
The Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation has embarked on a series of netball indabas in all the Gauteng regions to resolve and resuscitate the sport to give women an opportunity to participate in a sport.
The indabas will be held in three different regions over the 9 November weekend. They will take place at UJ Hockey Astro Turf in Melville; Ivory Park Stadium in Tembisa, and Imbizo Hall in Randfontein.
Delegates will include those from Netball South Africa, regional netball federations and government, and will discuss among others issues, the decline of netball, lack of netball structures and lack of confidence in netball administrators.
The events will be hosted by the Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation, in partnership with the Netball School of Sport, tertiary institutions and Netball South Africa.
