"Wow! What was that?" This was the comment I heard all night from the 14,165 NY Liberty fans, most of whom saw Netball for the first time. Netball players and supporters from around the country should be proud of having the largest crowd ever at a women's sporting event to watch a live Netball game.
Netball America couldn't have done this if it wasn't for the awesome support from over 45 volunteers. These volunteers have been working hard for the past 10 months to make this an entertaining event. Our member spotlight goes to one such volunteer, Joe Luczka - read about his hard work below. Our event sponsor,
Fulton Francis Consulting, also lent a helping hand- thanks Brendan!
