The GIANTS are excited to get their 2022 season off to a blistering start through an exciting new partnership with digital and physical activation community NETFIT Netball, which will see them taking netball to regional communities in NSW with an innovative new concept, partnered by Origin Energy.
NEON NETFIT is the brainchild of former GIANTS netballer and NETFIT founder Sarah Wall, with her former GIANTS teammate and NETFIT NSW Manager Taylah Davies leading these high-energy programs throughout the State.
The event will comprise a 90-minute glow in the dark netball focused workouts for 12+ year old attendees, while adopting a “festival” style approach to netball with participants receiving a training t-shirt, glow in the dark wristband, ticket to a GIANTS home-game and 6-month access to the NETFIT App plus on-site activities all for just $50.
GIANTS Netball Executive General Manager Tim Underwood is keen to continue to build on both the on-court and off-court success of the club in 2021 and is excited to continue that momentum with NETFIT through this off-court initiative.
“GIANTS Netball places a high-value on the role that our regional communities play in supporting both grassroots and elite netball and we’re excited to be able to take this concept to different parts of NSW.
“I see this [partnership] as being a perfect blend of visions as we roll these programs out with NETFIT and two former GIANTS players Sarah & Taylah.
“They were both there with us in our inaugural season and are two passionate GIANTS and netball people.”
The support of Origin Energy has been crucial in allowing this Regional Roadshow to enter so many local netball communities, as they continue to show their support for netball.
In addition to their naming rights partnership of the GIANTS Netball Regional Roadshow, Origin Energy continue to be a great friend of netball and community sport with their sponsorship of Netball Australia, the Origin Australian Diamonds as well as sponsoring seven of the eight Super Netball teams.
“Origin understands the important role that sport plays in local communities and we were excited at the prospect of supporting a project that saw this event enter regional areas, often starved of these kinds of opportunities,” said Brand Communication Manager at Origin Energy, Matt Hunt.
“Origin Energy is proud to support young Australian netballers from the very first time that they step onto the court, all the way through to representing the famous Origin Australian Diamonds.
“And I believe that this partnership fully demonstrates that commitment.”
Former elite netballers Sarah Wall and Taylah Davies are delighted to be able to get back out into the community following an interrupted 2021 through the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Local netball is the heartbeat of so many communities and as a country girl myself, I’m so excited that we can offer NEON NETFIT through the Regional Roadshow to so many young girls and boys who might not traditionally receive these opportunities in their towns,” said NETFIT Owner Sarah Wall.
NETFIT’s NSW Community Manager Davies added whether it be getting to Armidale, Tamworth, Narrandera or Orange, we’re so excited to be able to get on the road and spark up the court at night as we celebrate netball and the fantastic season that the GIANTS are working towards.
GIANTS Netball are excited to hit the road and light up NSW with 16 Regional Roadshows being rolled out in the upcoming months.
