Marie Little Shield

The Marie Little OAM Shield is scheduled to be held at Brisbane’s Nissan Arena from Friday 6 September until Sunday 8 September. 

The Marie Little OAM Shield is an annual tournament for women with intellectual impairment giving them a chance to represent the state on a national level. The competition started in 2013 and has quickly become a highlight of the Netball calendar. 

Netball Australia CEO Stacey West reflected on the significance of the national all-abilities event as it heads into its eleventh year. 

“To have all eight of our states and territories competing in this year’s Marie Little Shield is truly wonderful,” West said. 

“The Marie Little Shield plays such an important role for the development and growth of every competing player. 

The Northern Territory team representing the state are called the Dragonflies.
