The sixth annual Netball WA Multicultural Carnival was held today at Wembley Sports Park.
Among the 97 teams from across the state who battled it out on the court across the day, Belridge Secondary College and Ellenbrook Secondary College proved to be the most successful schools of the day.
The one-day tournament celebrates players from a wide range of ethnicities, whilst encouraging the development of their netball skills in a fun and supportive environment.
The event is catered for those of all skill level and experience, with the carnival boasting 15 divisions, including a pilot Secondary Boys Division.
Netball WA staff were on hand to provide support and guidance where needed, with the purpose of the day not about winning but about having fun, making friends and bridging cultural barriers.
Netball WA General Manager of Community Netball, Liz Booth, said it was a fantastic day.
“In its short history, the Multicultural Carnival has grown to reflect the ethnically diverse state of WA, and we are incredibly proud to host the many cultures of our community,” said Booth.
“2020 saw the introduction of a Secondary Boys Division which was just fantastic. It is great to grow the inclusivity of this carnival and our sport by giving other participants the opportunity to play and be part of a wider community.”
