The Marie Little Shield tournament is netball’s premier national competition for women with an intellectual disability. This year, our team will be supported by Head Coach - Imogen McLean with Assistant Coach - Emma McLean and Team Manager - Beth Kelly.
Netball Australia CEO Stacey West said the tournament is a cornerstone event on the calendar that reflects netball’s ongoing commitment to inclusion and accessibility.
“Marie Little Shield continues to grow each year, reinforcing the importance of pathways for all-abilities athletes and promoting equality and diversity across the netball landscape", West said.
“The energy, the pride, the connection among athletes, families, and supporters is a reminder of the power of truly inclusive sport.”
We look forward to seeing and cheering on our Blazing Bluebells in September.
