Netball South Africa is ramping up the development of players in the sport nationwide two years before the country hosts the 2023 Netball World Cup in Cape Town.
In the latest milestone, as the sport trudges towards the formation of a national league, the federation announced that it has partnered with soft drink company Twizza to form the Netball Club Championships.
This development is also another step towards the creation of a professional netball league in the country, which would greatly improve the already outstanding netball which the Proteas continually showcase.
“This tournament is not only about players. It’s about the growth of players, coaches, umpires, administrators and timekeepers… Everybody that is involved in netball,” Netball SA president Cecilia Molokwane said on Wednesday.
