NSW Swifts open season in Summer

 

With the 2011 World Netball Championship to be held in Singapore in July, the 2011 ANZ Championship season has been condensed to 12 rounds and the traditional winter sport will commence in Summer to avoid a clash.


The NSW Swifts will open their 2011 campaign with a blockbuster against reigning premiers the Adelaide Thunderbirds at Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre on February 13 in a rematch of the 2010 Semi Final.

 

The timing of the shortened season has the NSW Swifts playing five games at home in the opening six rounds, before the regular netball winter season commences. The Swifts will return to their home court only once in the back half of the season, in Round 10 against the Northern Mystics.


Netball NSW General Manager Carolyn Campbell said hosting five games at home in the first six rounds outside the regular netball season would be a challenge but also a welcome change.


“Traditionally netball starts in April so it will be a challenge to fill the stadium for six games in five weeks however I am positive the NSW Swifts fans will embrace this Summer season,” Campbell said.

“Summer is a great time to be out enjoying the entertainment of the NSW Swifts home games with friends and family.”

 

The on-court test for the Swifts will come in April when they play four games in 10 days. The Swifts will play three games on the road and one at home which will see them travel nearly 12,000km in 10 days.


“We understand it is an exhaustive schedule, however, we will be giving the team the best support possible to get through the most testing times,” Campbell said.

 

As in previous years, all Australian and New Zealand teams will play the four other teams from their respective countries twice (once home and once away), and each team from the other side of the Tasman once (either home or away).

 

2011 NSW Swifts Memberships will go on sale in October. Tickets will go on sale in November.
