With only five (5) month remaining before tip off, we encourage teams to request your letters of invitation (LOI) and begin your application process. The popularity and reputation as the can't miss youth netball event in the Americas is gaining steam. Not only will teams from our neighbors to the north , Canada be visiting us in 2025, but through our targeted promotions, over 600 teams globally have expressed an interest in challenging themselves against the "Champions of the Caribbean" All island champions from Jamaica at the under 16 and 19 levels are making their preparation to be a part of our opening line up. Past participants, Scarborough Secondary School Netball Club out of Trinidad & Tobago have made it known that they will be in attendance for the 13th edition and have already made their way to the embassy to get their passports stamped for travel. They are sure to be tested by Rising Stars Jr Netball Club out of Grand Cayman and of course our local teams especially Caricom Netball Club Juniors who have been steadily gaining additional experience by entering their teams in the Sr Florida Netball Classic this upcoming November.

For our 13th edition and to continue our celebration of the move to the City of Miramar Regional Park Amphitheater, there will be Family Funday activities added to the program of events! Get ready for races of all sorts, netball skill challenges, shooting competitions for both players and spectators alike, food trucks, music and many gifts and prizes.

We look forward to implementing these additions to a tournament that has already steadily gained the reputation as the "can't miss" premier junior netball tournament for the top youth teams in the Americas.

Applying for visas to enter the United States can be a daunting process filled with emotional ups and downs especially in the post pandemic era. US embassies globally have been inundated with request and as such are currently unable to meet the demands in a timely fashion. For our teams that are in need of visas to enter the USA, we offer the following protocol to assist with your navigation:

1. After receiving your letter of invitation (LOI), instruct your agent to book the 1st available group date at your local US embassy (Even if the suggested date is after the completion of the tournament).
2. If the group date is after the completion of the tournament. You will then need to contact your local Ministry of Sport to request assistance with getting your dates moved up to an appropriate time. Please include the name of your team, dates of appointment and the names of the athletes who will be looking to attain visas in all correspondence.
3. Whilst that process is on going, the embassy has notified us that teams should check the appointment website daily as new appointments are added depending on demand.
4. Consequently, follow the attached LINK, sign into your US embassy account and complete the "Request Expedite" tab where you can enter a reason for requesting an earlier appointment date.

We wish you the best of luck through this process and please do not hesitate to contact us at info@floridanetballclassic.com. should you need additional assistance.

It is with great pleasure that we announce our continued collaboration with the City of Miramar to become the future home of the Florida Netball Classic tournament series utilizing the Miramar Regional Park Amphitheater located at 16801 Miramar Pkwy, Miramar, FL 33027. 

Typically used as a concert venue, the 25,000 square footage space under tent will allow us to comfortably fit three (3) netball courts under its massive canopy with the possibility of a 4th outdoor court in the backstage area. The canopy will provide cover for any inclement weather conditions and allow us to create our long lasting dream of providing a carnival like experience for our patrons with extra-curricular activities for all players and guest. We look forward to welcoming you to our newest addition.

Interested in participating, but don't know where to start, let SPORTOURZ customize a package for you and your team. Florida has an abundance of world class excursions to choose, ranging from the Theme parks of Orlando (Disney / Universal Studios) to the pristine beaches and cafes of Ocean Drive, South Beach. Take a kite boarding lesson in the morning, pet an alligator in the afternoon and close out the day at a National Basketball Association game featuring the Miami Heat/Orlando Magic or Florida's newest professional soccer teams, Inter Miami FC / Orlando City SC. Visit the space coast and take a tour of the Kennedy Space Center where you will learn about the Apollo mission to the moon or even meet an astronaut. Later stop by Cocoa Beach and the world famous Ron John's Surf Shop for some shopping then indulge with a surf lesson from one of their pros.

If you have a bit more time, let us take you outside of Florida as contrary to popular belief, netball is very vibrant in the United States.
