The first ever International Netball Festival organized by the Grasshoppers Netball Club will be held this weekend.

Ruci Konose has been playing for the last three years and is ready for the tournament for the first ever International Netball Festival.

“We have been practicing on our skills mostly, how we should prepare ourselves for the game, the control of the ball, the shooting and just the flow of the game.”

Four teams from Australia will compete in age groups while with another three in the Open Grade.

The tournament begins at 8am on Saturday at the National Netball Center in Suva.
