The U13 National Netball competition, organised by Sisters n Sport, is one such event that provides a platform for schools to showcase their prowess in this engaging sport. The Sisters n Sport National Netball competition is a challenging tournament that draws hundreds of schools and thousands of teams from across the nation.
