Greetings!

Netball America is excited to announce that we have Season 7 American Idol finalist Michael Johns opening the Netball showcase with the national anthem.  He will also help commentate during the Netball games and be signing autographs for our Netball supporters!!! 
 
A big thank you goes to our Madison event sponsor - Fulton Francis, The World-Wide Leader in Independent Print Solutions.  
 
Netball America, in conjunction with Crusaders Netball Club, are proud to sponsor 30 teachers and students from the George Washington Carver High School in Queens to attend the Madison Event.  See below on how you can make a difference and sponsor a child.  Also, check out how our VIP Madison competition is going and how Wednesday May 12 is Netball Facebook Day!  
 
One of our goals is to promote active lifestyles, positive peer pressure and healthy role models for all youth. We need your help to achieve this. See below for open positions within the Netball America Executive Team.    

Happy Playing!

Netball Showcase at the Most Famous Arena on Earth
Can't make it?  No worries!  You can donate the ticket to an under privileged child.   kids
By sponsoring a child to attend a Netball game and donating money to Netball America you are investing in the education of the next generation and showing an underprivileged child you care.  In the past 30 years, the occurrence of obesity in children has doubled and it is now estimated that one in five children in the US is overweight, causing depressive symptoms such as poor body image; low self-esteem, and risk for eating disorders.  
 
The event is getting close to sold out and limited tickets are left - buy your tickets today. As an added incentive, our friends at Madison Square Garden are offering a deluxe package to the team/person who sells the most tickets.  MINC from New York are currently in the lead with 75 ticket sales followed closely by Crusaders Netball Club with 70 ticket sales.
