The Contiki Beach Netball Festival will be the first time a beach netball tournament is held in Singapore.
The event is a collaboration between Netball Singapore and Contiki Holidays, with both sides hoping to create a higher profile for themselves among the young working adults.
At a press event held at Sentosa's Palawan Beach on Wednesday, Cyrus Medora, executive director of Netball Singapore, said: 'We want to make netball appear more hip and trendy - a little more adventurous.'
