EXECUTIVE GENERAL MANAGER COMMUNITY & PATHWAYS NETBALL NSW NETBALL NSW OVERVIEW Netball NSW is the peak state sporting organisation responsible for the governance, development, promotion and administration of netball throughout New South Wales and is affiliated to Netball Australia. Netball is proudly the number one sport for women and girls in Australia and Netball NSW must continue to innovate to retain this position across the state. The Netball NSW Board and Senior Management Team has an ambitious vision for the sport and aims to enhance the community and the game to grow and thrive, transforming lives through netball. The proud home of the NSW Swifts and GIANTS Netball, Netball NSW also provides the framework for over 115,000 registered members and over 150,000 total participants to enjoy netball at all levels of performance throughout New South Wales. Netball continues to grow both on and off the court and much of this success can be attributed to the wide range of programs, facilities and services Netball NSW offers to its members and participants, from the grassroots through to the elite and professional level. Netball NSW has a proud history of elite netball teams and athletes’ performances in national and international competition. Over 300 athletes have proudly represented NSW in elite competition since the inception of the national netball league in 1997 and then the ANZ Championship and Suncorp Super Netball (SSN).

GIANTS Netball is owned and operated by Netball NSW, in a strategic alliance with GWS GIANTS (AFL). GIANTS Netball was formed on the basis of providing more opportunities for the members in NSW, including: to represent their state and club at Netball’s highest domestic level; and provide opportunities for fans and members to watch the world’s best netballers live in action. The Giants have quickly developed a strong position in the competitive NSW sporting landscape already competing in Finals and enjoying excellent membership and drawing impressive crowds to Qudos Bank Arena. NSW Swifts have a long and proud history representing NSW since 2007. They have multiple grand final appearances and are the current Suncorp Super Netball Premiers after defying the odds to register a thumping 64-47 Grand Final victory over the Sunshine Coast Lightning in September 2019. The Swifts were lauded for a young roster boasting some of internationals netball’s most promising players and the Premiership was secured with a scintillating brand of netball. Both GIANTS Netball and NSW Swifts are committed to being strong role models for young netballers around NSW, Australia and the world, and for representing their teams to the best of their ability. The clubs strive to be a competitive force in every year of the league and be a top four team each and every season and compete for the SSN title.
