Kaur’s Netball Tournament
The Sikh Education Council is proud to host its inaugural Kaur’s Netball Tournament – a day of energy, teamwork and spirited competition.
In the Sikh tradition, cultivating bir ras (the spirit of courage and determination) is an important value, and sport provides the perfect arena to nurture it. This event is an opportunity to challenge ourselves, inspire one another, and celebrate physical excellence.
Whether you’re stepping onto the court or cheering from the sidelines, join us in fostering athletic skill, community spirit, and the friendly yet fierce competitive drive that pushes us all to be our best. To fuel that drive and sharpen the competitive edge, teams will be playing for a cash prize.
Date: Sunday 14 September 2025
Time: 10.30am-3pm
Location: Thomas Parmiter Sports Centre, High Elms Lane, Watford, WD25 OUU
We kindly ask everyone to show respect towards the umpires, organisers, and the premises during the tournament.
