10 things only netballers know
If you have ever played netball you will remember the short nails, the grazed knees and the shoves and nudges in this "non-contact" sport! With the Suncorp Super Netball season in full swing the Fever players share some netball ins and outs you'll only truly understand if you've played the sport.
"The inherent understanding of what 3 seconds really feels like."
- Jess Anstiss
"The struggle of going to the toilet in your body suit."
- Alice Teague-Neeld
"If you’re early you’re on time, if you’re on time you’re late and if you’re late don’t bother coming."
- Kaylia Stanton
"Long nice nails and netball do not mix."
- Courtney Bruce
"June long weekend is never time to get away. It's a weekend filled with netball."
- Ingrid Colyer
"Having short nails all winter - either nicely cut or frantically chewed off the morning of your game."
- Olivia Lewis
"A new grazed knee each week."
- Shannon Eagland
"Ankle ligaments are for babies."

- Verity Charles
"The Ball is always a size 5."
- Jhaniele Fowler
Want to relive your netball days? Do it vicariously and head to one of the West Coast Fever games at RAC Arena. There's no better time to watch Fever play because after falling just short in last season's grand final, Fever are seeking redemption and a second chance at the top prize!
