What a cracker of a game we have in-store as we get ready to face-off against the Melbourne Vixens for the second time in a couple of weeks. Before going further, I think we should address our loss to the Queensland Firebirds on Saturday. First and foremost, the Queenslanders deserved Check what goodies the points and pretty much had the upper hand all are inside our 2020 over the court. Membership Packs! While you have to give credit to a team that were simply better on the day, that doesn’t mean View Packages you shouldn’t do some serious soul searching in the short turnaround between games.

The fact is we are still looking for consistent cohesive performances Match Broadcast where all parts of our attack and defence fire in Watch NSW Swifts take on Melbourne Vixens sync for a full 60 minutes. LIVE on Tuesday at 5:00PM AEST on We came close against the Sunshine Coast Telstra TV or the Netball Live App. Lightning a few weeks ago but we’re the Premiers and we haven’t lived up to that title so far this year. Pressure is privilege, being the hunted is an honour every team wants but our actions haven’t matched our words. Despite this, we’re still second on the ladder and in a strong position to make Finals - even the top-two. Our destiny remains in our own hands. STAY UP TO DATE But now we know that winning ugly won’t nswswifts.com.au suffice any more. As the regular season starts to reach the business end every team is fighting for their lives, and there are three sides outside the top four still in with a good shot of making the playoffs. I want the Firebirds game to be a watershed moment for this team in 2020. Just plodding along and relying on smarts won’t cut it. Put simply, we’ve got to be better. Last year’s success showed V we’re good enough, but ‘good enough’ won’t suffice later this season because no-one stands COMING UP IN ROUND 12: still in this game.

  • A Brief History of Netball and Our Tactix Legacy
    A Brief History of Netball and our Tactix Legacy What is Netball? “A new game for girls, about which a good deal will probably be heard in the course of the ensuing summer, is basket-ball. It has already swept the United States, completely eclipsing lawn tennis, and effectually nipping in the bud the threatened revival of croquet….The chief beauty of the game is its simplicity, and the fact that no expensive apparatus is required. Wherever two old baskets, a couple of clothes props, and a ball, are there can it be played.” (Otago Witness, 6 May 1897) The Game The game of netball is derived from the early development of basketball in the USA. The origin of basketball is traditionally credited to James Naismith, a 30-year-old Canadian immigrant to the USA, who in 1891, invented an indoor game for young men at the School for Christian Workers (later the YMCA) in Springfield, Massachusetts. The first games of what's now netball were played on a paddock between nine-a-side teams. The rules allowed three bounces, and throws from one end of the field to the other. Baskets were used for goals and after each goal, the ball was tipped out to restart play. Netball was first played in the UK in 1895 at Madame Ostenburg's College. In the first half of the 20th century, Netball's popularity continued to grow, with the game being played in many British Commonwealth countries. There were no standard rules at that time with both nine-a-side and five- a-side versions of the game.
