The Marie Little OAM Shield is an annual tournament that provides women with an intellectual disability the chance to compete at a national level. Named after disability netball pioneer, Marie Little OAM, the competitions see teams from each state compete. Victoria have won the Shield twice.
Netball Victoria is calling for all eligible athletes to trial for selection in the Victorian All Abilities Netball Team to compete at the 2019 Marie Little OAM Shield in Brisbane, October 12-14.
In an exciting development, this year’s Marie Little Shield competition in Brisbane will also be running in conjunction with the 2019 INAS Global Games.
Two trial opportunities will be held at the State Netball Hockey Centre on June 30 and July 7 with the June 30 session also running in parallel with the Australian Netball League Finals and Netball Victoria Talent Academy sessions if anybody is interested in coming along early or staying late to watch and support our Victorian Fury or the state’s best young talents!
