After the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in their cancellation last year Netball NSW's HART Senior State Titles are back in 2021, taking centre stage this weekend at the Liverpool City and Bankstown City Netball Associations.
The three-day tournament showcases the strength of grassroots netball with players from all over the state coming together to play the game they love.
Liverpool City will welcome players from the Opens Championship Division, the 17/U and 15/U Championships and Division 2, while Bankstown hosts Opens Division 2 and 17U and 15U Divisions 3 & 4.
To meet the current Public Health Order requirement in NSW, capacity at the venues will be limited (more information HERE).
The games start on Saturday 14 June and continue through until Monday afternoon.
Netball NSW President Louise Sullivan said she was delighted to see the State Titles return in 2021 and was looking forward to a festival of netball in Western Sydney.
"Everyone involved with each team and Association over the next three days should be extremely proud of their efforts in getting here, and I know the very best will still be standing on Monday afternoon," she said.
"This illustrates our grassroots are every bit as healthy as our elite game, which currently sees the Giants and Swifts at the top of the Suncorp Super Netball ladder.
"Having made the heart-breaking decision to cancel the 2020 Senior State Titles as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, how wonderful is it to be back?
"Netball, at its core, is a game founded in community. It hasn’t become Australia’s most popular team sport by accident. Across every region, across every state, across every city and town (big and small) you will find a netball court at its centre.
"The HART Senior State Titles in Liverpool and Bankstown are a coming together of those communities. I, like you, cannot wait to see the sea of colour, competitiveness, skill and passion that awaits us over the next three days.
"I would like to thank HART Sport, our naming rights partner for this event, for all of their wonderful support across all levels of the game and thank again the fantastic volunteers in Liverpool and Bankstown who have worked hand-in-hand with Netball NSW to make this weekend a reality."
