AUSTRALIA'S elite men's and mixed netballers will descend on
Melbourne at Easter 2010 for what promises to be a pivotal moment
in the history of netball in Australia.
April will mark three years since the Australian Men's and Mixed
Netball Association invested its trust in new leadership to boldly
push toward establishing this version of our great game as a
fixture in the Australian netball community.
All netball roads will lead to Melbourne for a week of exciting
sport at open, reserve and under age levels.
Often considered to be a novelty or new event, most observers are
surprised to learn that these championships are rich in history,
dating back as far as 1985.
Teams will
contest:
| Open Men's |
Men's Reserve |
| 23 & Under Men |
19 & Under Men |
| 17 & Under Men |
Men's Masters |
| Open Mixed |
Mixed Reserve |
Victoria's Men's Netball President James McCallum could not be
happier with preparations for the event.
"We are planning for around 400 participants," McCallum
said.
"That's 30 teams, 30 to 40 umpires, 2000 spectators.
"It's a big event and we have a terrific team doing a lot of
work".
The 20TEN Championships will be hosted at the Oakleigh Recreation
Centre in Melbourne's south.
"We really want to step things up this year, with more teams, more
spectators and more matches," McCallum said.
"One of our key goals is to ensure that all participants feel as
though they have been a part of the best event of its
type.
