The U.S. Open Netball Championships®, the USA's most prestigious and largest Netball event. Since 2010, this annual championship has brought together women's and mixed co-ed netball teams from around the world to compete for the coveted titles of U.S. Open Netball Champions. This event is streamed free globally at www.USOpenNetball.TV and draws over 100,000 online viewers.  
The event has participation of 32 adult netball teams (approx. 500 athletes and volunteers) from across the USA, Canada, Caribbean, UK, and Australia who all descend upon the USA to compete for the U.S. Open Title.  The event is held in a different city each year.   The primary objective is to foster the development of American athletes, coaches, and umpires, as Netball is a grassroots sport in the USA.

A lot of our attendees come in and stay in the city for a week to sightsee, as it is often their first time to the USA.

We would also like information on sizing of each court and the space around it, whether locker rooms/showers/rooms for volunteers and organizing committee available, how far the venue is located from the international airport and the name of said airport.

Netball is similar to basketball although the rules, equipment and team numbers are different.  There is no dribbling; no running with the ball; 7 players; ball passed within 3 seconds; ball & basket slightly smaller; no backboard; players designated to certain areas. Netball has similarities to European Handball, Korfball and Ultimate Frisbee.

Netball has the following advantages: true team sport (no ball hogs allowed), doesn’t matter size/ability level a position on court for everyone, great hand/eye coordination and teaches spacial awareness.  A great feeder sport for basketball.
