AS the first official fortnight of Netball Draft Central nears the finishing post, we thought we would give a site update.
At Netball Draft Central, we aim to cover both international and domestic competitions throughout 2019. We have already begun covering the Vitality Netball Superleague in England, as well as the Northern Quad Series which comes to a conclusion over the weekend.
In the middle of February, the ANZ Premiership kicks off in New Zealand, while the Australian domestic competitions are staggered over the next few months. The Suncorp Super Netball begins in April and has a break for the World Cup in July, the Victorian Netball League begins at the end of March, while we will also cover the Australian Netball League, which is yet to set a formal fixture.
The World Cup is a major event this year in England, as will be the Southern Quad Series later in the year, and other regular international competitions such as the Constellation Cup and Fast5.
Netball Draft Central will have dedicated pages to all these competitions which can be found below:
AUSTRALIA:
Australian Netball League (ANL)
Victorian Netball League (VNL)
ENGLAND:
Vitality Netball Superleague (VNSL)
NEW ZEALAND:

Each page will have relevant news, fixtures/results and ladders, as well as special content throughout the year. There are plenty of exciting announcements to come for Netball Draft Central so stay tuned on the page.
