"It's a bit of a no-brainer. We're women, we've all got different shapes and sizes. As a 20-year-old, wearing a dress would have been fine for me, but if you put me on court now I couldn't think of anything worse than wearing a netball dress. - Coach Tamsin Greenway on Mavericks' kit innovation"
The Netball Super League enters its second season of a 10-year professionalisation drive, with defending champions London Pulse facing Manchester Thunder in the opening match. Loughborough Lightning won the Super Cup, establishing themselves as title contenders alongside Pulse. The league features significant developments including London Mavericks' pioneering kit options allowing players to wear vests, shorts, skorts, and leggings instead of traditional dresses, designed to enhance player comfort and performance. England goal shooter Eleanor Cardwell returns to Manchester Thunder after three years in Australia, bringing quality to a team seeking consistency. The league demonstrates growth momentum with a 45% surge in average attendances last season, indicating expanding fan engagement and interest in women's netball.
