'Adopt A Second Team' Competition

School children in Auckland have the opportunity to win tickets to the upcoming New World Netball World Championships with the launch of an “Adopt a second team” competition.

Coordinated by Auckland City Council, the competition encourages school classes from Year 4 to Year 8 to support a team other than the Silver Ferns, and learn more about both the team and their country by answering a number of questions and displaying them creatively on an A2 poster.

Winning classes will be allocated 30 tickets to one of their adopted team’s pool matches at The Trusts Stadium in Waitakere.

For a registration pack, schools can contact Jan Ziegler-Peri on 09 379 2020 or their local sports trust.Entries close on 21 September, with judging to take place the following week.

The New World Netball World Championships are being hosted in Auckland from 10 to 17 November. Competing countries include Australia, Barbados, Botswana, Cook Islands, England, Fiji, Jamaica, Malawi, Malaysia, Samoa, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, Trinidad & Tobago and Wales.

Auckland City Council is proud to be a government partner of the New World Netball World Championships, and is looking forward to working with others in the region to deliver a successful and memorable event.
