Preparation of Spar Netball Challenge international Test Serie


 On Monday Netball South Africa held a virtual press conference under the following talking points "Quotas" matters in the media, Spar Challenge (RSA vs Malawi) 26-29 November 2020 at Sun-City and National Championship that will be held at Bela-Bela in Limpopo on 6-12 December 2020,with Netball President Cecilia Molokwane and Spar Proteas Head Coach Dorette Badenhorst.

QUOTAS SUMMARY

President mentioned that in Netball they don't have Quotas but they have self-set targets that the districts and provinces set prior championships,as they follow the demographics hence we say we have 2-5 on court. She emphasized that all this rumours that are flying about NSA are not true.

Spoke also about the NSA distancing themselves from NSL (Netball Super League) because they didn't endorse it,but they will endorse it at the right time and moment,only if they do the right thing. They will also protect players, coaches and all the stakeholders involved,so that they are not misused for the benefit of the next person.

She said a concerned question: "Nobody will come in our sport and bully us in our sport we will never allow that.I wonder why the same people don't go to other sports and doing exactly that they are doing, is it because they are undermining us as we are women in sports...?"
