Often the unsung heroes, our Team Managers are the heartbeat of the Academy - without their support of players & coaches, we would not function.
We are delighted to announce our Team Managers for the 23/24 NPL season.
U21 - Martine Morris, U19 - Julie Cridland & U17 Kat Talbot
Ok putting it out there-
@bbcstrictly
are announcing their current line up- Eboni and Stacey have just retired... surely one of them is going to be on there! We need netball exposure on prime time....
When
@DonnellWallam
needs help, you can Damn right bet I will do what I can! Transported her kit from Birmingham to London. She is the loveliest person and absolute superstar
Just wanted to welcome all the new members to the Funmi Fadoju fan club... a reminder that she covers all 3 defensive positions. Possibly strongest at GD but amazing wherever she is 💓
Team Bath achieving what Sky struggled all year with- good camera angles, clear picture, no yellow filter, a clock and score throughout. Thank you
@TeamBathNetball
and
@LucyGoodman22
doing a great job in Comms- a hard job on your own!
#NSL2024
As well as losing clubs, also important to remember that we will be going from 120 playing contracts (plus 30 TPs) to 80 contracts! So many players will be affected and no longer have contract next year. 😱
Guys! Turn of events, I'm now unblocked. Thank you for everyone that has sent lovely messages. As most people will know, I just want the best for our sport, our leagues and of the course the Roses! Jess, my DMs are open if you ever want to chat- good vibes only 😊❤️
Can we just point out Wallam did have a contract last year in VNSL and she performed amazingly so she is in second year of elite netball, not her first
#NetballChaos
Just to say the Birmingham crowd aren’t against Aus or NZ, but being Brits we always cheer for the underdog, and just wanted to see an ‘upset’
#netballchaos
I have a lot of female friends that don’t like sport… I never get it, sport gives me such a warm fuzzy feeling. Inspiring superstar athletes and so many netball friends. Everyone needs such a good community in their lives ❤️
I always find it awkward when sirens is called a difficult away fixture as have to fly up, when Sirens have to fly to most or all of their away games?!
#NSL2023
To say that the Supershot encourages more skill as shooting long range, do we forget Maria Folau built a career from shooting long range? You can shoot long range in the ‘normal’ game, you just have to be bloody good 🤷🏼♀️
And my first act as UK PM is that netball is declared as the national sport. People will be given time off whenever there are international games on to watch. My party slogan is
#HereIfYouNeed
We don't need to play our starting 7 for the Aus game on Thurs. We beat NZ at CWG in the group, then lost third. Jam beat Aus in group, then lost the final. We need to still play the whole 12 as they all need experience playing the Diamonds. Don't play all our cards too early!
Just saw a TikTok saying if you are thinking of joining a Uni netball team then don't as it's mean girl vibes. The video has got nearly 1m views and comments saying I won't now join a team...This makes me so sad! I never played netball at uni but wish I had!
It’s quite simple, if you ‘claim’ to be the best league in the world, you have to let the world watch! Come on
@SuperNetball
@NetballAust
give us international fans some answers 🙏🏼
Can’t cope with netball today- Geva in a moon boot, maybe folau over wallam (just no!), couldn’t view Team Girls Cup, some shoddy VNSL coverage… someone let me know when it all gets good again 😩
As I won't be playing netball for a while, thought I best do
@parkrunUK
I haven't run in a few months so I thought just do 2km then run walk the rest, I ran it all and even did a sprint finish at the end. Proud of myself!
Who's that on the far right? 👀 oh that would be me! I can now officially say I've umpired Superleague and international players. Thanks for inviting me along for a good post-Christmas run out 💕
If anyone who follows me sends negative DMs to awesome netballers, please unfollow me. I think we have a nice Netball Twitter community, so let’s get rid of this.
#VNSL2022
Right I get it, it was footwork🤣🤣sending me negative dms isn’t going to change the fact that I did it, it’s not that deep🥲Catch us home at the Copper Box on the 21st Feb against Wasps tho🥳
Literally find it so funny that we all now have a perverse interest in what sports bra
@ECardwell11
is picking for each game and watching the results 👀☠️
If you could take the best of every league, what would your perfect league look like?
Mine would be:
8 teams
Squads of 12
No Supershot
Rolling subs
1 timeout per half per team
No Sweet Caroline
Coach cam
Half time interviews with coaches, not players
@HannahAlOthman
This is so gross! Men and mixed netball teams already exist and is great fun. If you don’t know the rules about netball, which you clearly don’t, then please don’t discuss it.
Anyone find it a bit wild that the starting GS for the Diamonds sits behind the second choice GS for Jamaica at club level? I love both but seems crazy
#QuadSeries
It's exciting to think that the Roses have Sasha Glasgow and hopefully George Fisher to come into the mix in the shooting end- going to have some great depth 🥰
#NWC2023
Are Netball Australia the queens of putting out a squad announcement just after there is big news about the future of SSN? Nothing like a distraction....
Truly sad to see Joyce leaving
@NetballSL
but can I just say also say credit to
@thundernetball
for announcing it nice & early. Hope teams are a Lot more transparent with signings/players leaving this season and hope we have some flashy announcements too!
#VNSL2022
Just putting it out there, why can't ALL NSL games be on netball pass and us UK fans will pay to watch every game? Surely that would help with extra revenue too. very glad to see BBC on board. I just hope we get some good analysis on games this season too 😬
Import watch at
@NetballSL
I make it:
8 SA (not including Sigi)
3 Aus (not including Leah, Lily-may)
3 Uganda
2 NZ (not including Jo)
2 Malawi
1 T&T
How good to get more imports in this season!!
#NSL2024
I've watched two SSN games and one ANZ, I want to advocate for NSL and get people watching but I can hardly see players, I don't know the score or time left... this is getting ridiculous. The only time I'm enjoying NSL is in person, the coverage is just 🫠
#NSL2024
Watching Chelsea Pitman’s insta and I still find it wild that her and CBass aren’t playing netball for top tier clubs! Stanton and Gooden too, so much unsigned talent. Don’t even get me start on Fi toner
#whereisfi
Am now entering my umpiring era! Time to finally use my B award to good effect. Observing Regional SE 1 today- Sabina v Eclipse- before I'm let lose on my own in a few weeks
#TeamWhite
I’ve said this before but I don’t understand why the Vitality Roses don’t have their own social media accounts separate from
@EnglandNetball
Thistles, ferns and diamonds all have separate accounts. Be great to see it for Comm games
What a way to end the year- in my fav netty place with a couple of amazing Roses 🌹 Thanks
@Jarten
@Liv_Tchine
@Pulse_Netball
although I will prob stick to centre court 😬💕
I don't know what Aussie Sports awards there are but the Diamonds have to be the Aussie Team of the year- they have won everything in emphatic style
#AUSvRSA
Comm games content I would like to see/know:
- food options available
- who is sharing rooms
- games played to keep entertained
- a
@NSWSwifts
get together
What else do we want to see?!
#Birmingham2022
What a season! Does anyone else think that maybe we have seen the last of quite a few players either at all or in VNSL? So excited and a little nervous to see all the player movement that could be coming up…
#VNSL2022
Ok so assuming we lose this game and therefore series, if Liv doesn't get in the game day 12 for final series then I'm actually starting a riot!
#AUSvENG
What a B-eautiful performance from the Roses, so proud of what the girls have put on court throughout the tests. Remember the names of these players as you will 💯 see them again!
#TainiJamisonTrophy
Found out tonight that a netball friend I’ve played with for years has MS plus a girl I manage found out this week she has a brain tumour- both under 35. Life is too short for pettiness or unnecessary drama. Live life and be happy 🫶🏼
Ok so Laura Malcolm and Layla Guscoth both are in the Roses programme for 23/24 but don't have NSL contracts for 2024- assuming years out- however Jade Clarke has an NSL contract but not in the Roses.... 🧐
As I was volunteering today at the netball, haven't been on Twitter but for the millionth time, I can't explain how I'm excited for
@Pulse_Netball
this season! Watching Liv and Funmi regularly is heaven sent, and the rest of the girls too of course 💗
