Name: Jan & Noela Schroder
Member Type: Foundation Member - Platinum
How many years have you been a member? 7 years
What made you sign up to be a GIANTS member? We had been foundation members of the Swifts in Commonwealth Bank Trophy and ANZ Championship. We moved to the GIANTS in 2017 as Julie Fitzgerald was the coach.
What do you love most about being a GIANTS Member? The culture within in the club. The players see members as equals to themselves. GIANTS strives to support a pathway for NSW juniors.
Who is your favourite GIANT and why? Noela doesn't have a favourite, she loves them all. Jan would say Amy Parmenter because of what she does both on and off the court.
What's been your favourite game you have attended or watched from home? My favourite game would have been one at Qudos Bank Arena where the players ran out through a banner similar to what happens at an AFL game. Loved it. Also the finals game at ICC against Fever.
GIANTS Fun Fact: Noela - who turns 90 in December - has been involved in netball since way back. She managed the KuRingGai State League team in the early 1980s when Julie was the coach and Assistant Coach Jenny O'Keefe was a player.
