About
THE WHO
Bournemouth Beach showcased the first ever UK Beach Netball tournament in June 2016 and since then has helped raise money and awareness for local charities. Due to the huge success of the first event, Beach Netball UK was back in 2017 with double the amount of teams and double the amount of fun; selling out in only 6 weeks! After a year off, we are excited to announce…
WE ARE BACK for 2019!
Activities to include the Netball Beach Tournament showcasing 16 teams, chill out areas, kids zone and a classic beach bbq. A version of the sport already played in Australia and Hong Kong, if you love netball and you love the beach, this new unique event is a must.
THE WHY
In 2015 we had a crazy idea of starting the first ever Beach Netball event in the UK and in 2016 that idea became an exciting reality. We wanted to create an event around a sport we love on the 7 miles of golden sands in Bournemouth, to help raise awareness and money for local charities close to our hearts.
The 2016 and 2017 event partnered with Dorset Cancer Care Foundation, a charity that provides the most amazing support for cancer sufferers and their families.
The 2019 event will be partnering with Julia’s House and we couldn’t be more excited to work with such an incredible charity.
THE CHARITY
Julia’s House is a Children’s Hospice charity that provides outstanding, award-winning care for babies, children and young people with life-shortening and life-threatening conditions and support for their families.
The nurses and carers are in the community, in their hospices and in homes across Dorset and Wiltshire providing frequent, regular short breaks for mums and dads and social opportunities for the whole family.
Julia’s House is a lifeline for parents facing the devastating reality, that their child may not live into adulthood.
COMPETITION
THE COMPETITION
