12 August 2009 VC's best wishes for the South Island Secondary Schools Netball Tournament

 

 

This is the third year we have sponsored the South Island tournament and we offer our best wishes to the 2009 competing teams, their coaches, the tournament organisers, and the parents, family members, friends and supporters of all those taking part.

 

Netball is one of New Zealand's premier national sports, with an immense and enthusiastic following throughout the land. It is a fast, exciting and highly skilful game and our national team, the Silver Ferns, are tremendous sporting ambassadors for this country. Who knows how many future Silver Ferns might be playing in this tournament?

 

At Lincoln University we know how important sport is as a dimension of human well-being. The Bachelor of Sport and Recreation Management degree offered by our specialist university is a proven pathway to satisfying and worthwhile careers. Support for a tournament such as this South Island Secondary Schools event affirms our commitment to the sporting activities of young New Zealanders.
