We encounter many organizations during our season and sincerely appreciate your responsiveness in all communications leading up to the event and on game day. The energy and cooperation of the Netball America logistics team ensured all aspects of the showcase ran smoothly.” - Kristin Bernert, Former President of WNBA LA Sparks, and current Vice President of Marketing WNBA NY Liberty. “The Women’s Sports Foundation GoGirlGo! Program has had the honor of working with Netball America over the past year.

Netball America is making its imprint on sports in the United States.“ Candice L Dixon, MPA—Women’s Sports Foundation, National Program Manager. “As an American professional athlete I pride myself in knowing about team sports, so was very surprised to learn about netball and how globally popular it is. I want to support Netball America in their efforts in promoting this sport and was very impressed when I saw the Collegiate national team perform at the US Open. I’ll be proud to support the world university championships here in the USA”- Brian Anderson, World Series Champion / Major League BaseballTM. “Without a doubt, netball is one of the fastest and most dynamic team sports and until the last few years has been one of the best kept secrets in America. I have been so impressed with the way Netball America has connected the game of netball to the local community and used it as a vehicle to address many of the social issues that constantly challenge society on a daily basis.” - Vicki Wilson OAM, Assistant Coach New Zealand Silver Ferns (World Ranked #1) & Former Australian Netball Captain, 104 Test caps.

We are excited to be hosƟng the 2013 CallidusCloud U.S. Open Championship; especially as Netball America is celebrating its Įve year anniversary. It is remarkable how much Netball in Atlanta has grown over the past 2 years in Atlanta thanks to Netball America. Their vision, selfless attitude, hard work and amazing dedication have contributed to this success. The biggest impact Netball America has had on the Atlanta community is the roll-out of the GoGirlGo! Program. This program has helped the underserved communiƟes within the Atlanta region. Also, having Netball recognized on the Ňoor of Philips Arena during a WNBA Atlanta Dream Game and by the NFL Atlanta Falcons has also given our clubs a big boost.

The work Netball America is doing to get netball in at the grass roots level is criti- cal if American netball has any hope of participating on the international netball stage.” - Stacey Francis, England Netball Team. “I’m excited to support Netball America and their mission of having netball be a household name in the United States. Even though I’ve toured to sold out audiences and recently performed for Muhammad Ali and performed with Bruce Springsteen, my passion is sports. Atlanta is an amazing city to hold such a world class netball event as I was fortunate to study there on a tennis scholarship.” - Michael Johns, American Idol S7 Finalist. “It was my first team sport that I learned and it provided me with the skills that I use today in basketball. It taught me that I have to depend on everyone, every position to win because we were all limited to certain areas on the court and that has allowed me to build trust with the people now in my work and personal life.” - Sancho Lyttle, Center for the WNBA Atlanta Dream (formerly of Saint Vincent & Grenadines). “Netball is the missing element in popular sports in the United States. It should take off like wildfire and I am sure your championships will advance that cause.”—The Honorable Kim Beazley, Australian Ambassador to the United States. “As a Fijian, international athlete, rugby ambassador, coach, community builder and father, I want to congratulate you all on taking time away from your family and friends to participate in such an elite sporting championship. I can certainly empa-thize with you about the challenges that lay ahead to grow an unknown sport in an already crowded American sporting arena. However from what I’ve seen, Netball America is on the right path. The key will be to support the growth of the game amongst the youth.”—Waisale Serevi, The King of Sevens Volunteer of the Year MAKING THE DIFFERENCE Opportunity presents itself as a door to a new level of success.
