The sport of netball is no longer smouldering. It is exploding faster than an oxidised chemical reaction and it is winning the hearts of many South Africans in the run-up to the country hosting the Netball World Cup in 2023.

Netball South Africa has not rested on its laurels after the national side reached the semifinals of this year’s world cup in Liverpool, England in July. Rather, they have moved to ensure that the Spar Proteas are ready to steal the title and make Cape Town its new home in four years’ time.

The championships, which are usually between provinces, have been split into regions. So, the competition, held at the University of Johannesburg’s netball courts, is being contested by 74 netball teams: 42 seniors and 32 under-21s. After the opening match, and an easy win, defending champions Tshwane went into isolation before they came out to face their next opponents. Not even the loud announcements from the central microphone served to break their concentration.that she is determined to keep the trophy in the capital, and believes that her team is going to focus on each opponent as they “climb this journey”.

Reyneke believes that these smaller tournaments will assist in preparation for Cape Town 2023, and give the players — and Netball South Africa — a chance to experience small hurdles. Overcoming these, she says, will help everyone be better organised and prepare mentally for the bigger challenges they will face when the World Cup lands on South African shores.
