Netball Samoa kicked-off their 2018 National Netball League tournament last week Saturday at the National University of Samoa gymnasium.

According to Netball Samoa C.E.O., Rosemarie Esera, their initiative and strategic plans suited the celebration of the International Day of Sports for Developments and Peace.
