Seven Suncorp Super Netball teams will participate in the advanced match play pilot program, which will support talent identification and to provide additional match play for athletes on the cusp of Suncorp Super Netball.
General Manager - Performance and Pathways Sue Gaudion said the Club pushed hard for this concept to be trialled and was looking forward to providing athletes more opportunities.
“Super Netball Reserves is going to provide our up-and-coming WA pathway athletes with greater opportunities to test their wares against the best from around the country,” Gaudion said.
“It will also allow us to manage workloads in our SSN environment and if one or more of our West Coast Fever contracted athletes need more court time, Super Netball Reserves provides that for them.”
The Club has appointed Guy Keane as Head Coach, a move which Gaudion said was an easy decision.
“Guy Keane joined our environment in late 2022 and his impact across the club and our pathway programs has been immense,” she said.
“Guy did a great job at the Australian Netball Championships last year with our Reserves group and he has secured two medals in consecutive years with our State 17/U team which makes him a standout option to guide this group.”
