The local netball season is set to start this weekend.
The 2008 senior women’s netball league is slated to begin this Saturday 22 November.
The netball courts at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex are expected to host the opening activities and the majority of games throughout the season.
The time was not confirmed at press time but was tentatively set for 6:30pm.
Among the activities set for Saturday is the uniform parade. The parade is a pageantry of colours and team spirit that is meant to invigorate the players and captivate the crowd.
The opening was set to take place last Saturday. Due to the re-scheduling of the Pirates Week landing and other activities for that day the opening was postponed.
Cayman Islands Netball Association member Cheryl Glasgow said the opening was changed in an effort to give netball the biggest stage possible.
‘As this is a big event and would involve a lot of the players and netball participants we have decided to change the date.
‘This will also give all clubs and schools some extra time to get their uniforms ready.’
Glasgow recently served as chief statistician for the recent CINA Mixed League competition.
The next big event for the senior women’s league will be a netball rally on Saturday 29 November.
