Welcome

Welcome to the home page of North America's Premier netball league. The Caribbean American Netball Association (CANA). The association is an affiliate of The United States of America Netball Association (USANA), and we are based in Brooklyn New York. Our Summer home is the Lincoln Terrace Park which is conveniently located at Buffalo Ave at the intersection of East New York Ave and Eastern Parkway. Our summer season typically runs from late May or early June with our regular tournament and culminates on the last weekend in August with our annual Caribbean Cup Tournament. Getting to the park is relatively easy as it is in close vicinity of every source of public transportation in Brooklyn.

Directions to Lincoln Terrace

One can easily get to Lincoln Terrace via the number 3 or number 4 trains to Utica Ave. Once you exit the subway, at Utica Ave and Eastern Parkway, walk 2 blocks east, turn South on to Buffalo Ave. The entrance to the netball court will be down the block, approximately two thirds of the length of the block.
