📸 London Mavericks

Kat got the opportunity to catch up with Assistant Coach Mikki Austin and squad player Vicki Oyesola to find out more about how London Mavericks, with their sponsors and partners, came together to unveil a choice of kit wear including shorts, skorts, leggings and the traditional netball dress.

We also take a look at the rules and regulations around netball including, why different regions have different rules, and how regulations in the North West region are working against players and clubs by hindering player progression up and down the leagues.

In what was an interesting insight into not just Premier Netball but also Regional and Pathway netball, we discuss the issues that are facing netball players across the country as they try to balance club, university, NSL/NXT Gen as well as International pathways. Are they playing too much netball?

We touch on Debbie’s main business Netball UK(@netballuk), and its rapid growth over the years as well as take a deeper look at another role she holds within netball as Head Coach of Oldham Netball Club (@oldham_netball_club)

Before Hannah flew out to Gibraltar, we had the opportunity to sit down and talk about netball life and how proud she is to be captain of this young England Roses team.

Hannah Knightbridge will be leading the 2025 team to Gibraltar with the dreams and ability to make history by lifting England's first Youth World Cup Trophy.

We discuss the ramifications of contract clauses such as being able to break contracts to head off to other leagues and the impact it has on clubs and the sport.

We also give our first table predictions based on the squad announcements.

Think this turnover of players is reasonable considering the team Lauren took over was put in place by another HC. Good to see Lauren putting her stamp on things and let’s hope it’s the end of the high player turnover at Rhinos

Once the remaining teams have announced their squads, we will bring you part 2 of this episode.

With a couple of teams still to finalise their squads, we discuss the first 4 teams to complete their teams. Settle in and hear our thoughts on Nottingham Forest, London Pulse, Manchester Thunder and Loughborough Lightning.
