Back by popular demand, the team in orange will be back in Orange as part of their pre-season preparations.
For a second year in a row the GIANTS will travel to the Central West region to showcase the game and build on the foundations formed last year.
Orange is known for its food and wine, stunning landscapes, fascinating history and love of netball.
Headlining the teams three-day visit will be a free community clinic and two games against the Adelaide Thunderbirds.
When the GIANTS last visited Orange in March 2021 the match was a sell-out, with the GIANTS and Orange City Council responding to the demand and putting on two ticketed matches this time around.
The matches will be played at the PCYC in Orange on Friday, February 18 and Saturday, February 19.
GIANTS Netball Executive General Manager, Tim Underwood, said the GIANTS were thrilled to have Orange once again on their pre-season calendar.
“We had such a great experience in Orange last year, the community were so welcoming, and the energy was great, so we can’t wait to get back,” he said.
“Going out into the community, particularly those regions with a strong netball ethos, is a fundamental value of our club and vision, and something we hope to deliver on more in 2022 as life returns to normal.
“The partnership with the Orange City Council to date has been fantastic and equally beneficial to both parties.”
Orange Mayor Cr Reg Kidd welcomed the news that Orange would again host the Giants for a super netball weekend.
“It’s great news that Orange’s Anzac Park will again host a GIANTS game in the new year,” Cr Reg Kidd said.
“Netball is a huge participation sport in Orange and to see two games open to the public this time round will be great for the sport locally.”
“Last time the tickets sold out online in a matter of minutes, so I’d encourage anyone who’s keen to be ready when they go on sale on Wednesday this week. A couple of tickets will make a fantastic Christmas present.”
“Last time it was great to see how good a venue like the indoor Anzac Park stadium is for an an event like this. The Council has talked about extending the stadium in future and adding a ‘show court’ with tiered seating. Games like this show the community what could happen in future.”
Tickets for the two pre-season matches will go on sale at midday Wednesday 22 December, with tickets prices ranging from $15-$25 per person. GIANTS Members will receive a discount on tickets.
