ANL proves vital pathway to ANZ Championship By Netball Australia  Thirteen New Idea Australian Netball League (ANL) players will take the step up into the ANZ Championship for the first time in 2010 with the league proving a central pathway for players development.
One New Zealand and all Australian teams have given at least one aspiring talent their chance in the world’s best netball league. This number is an increase from last year when nine 2008 ANL players were named for the 2009 ANZ Championship.
This year Queensland Firebirds have picked up four ANL players, all 2009 Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) scholarship holders, while the NSW Swifts added three AIS players to their list, the Melbourne Vixens added two Victorian Fury players, West Coast Fever signed two Western Australian players and the Adelaide Thunderbirds signed one AIS graduate. AIS scholarship holder Chelsea Pitman will start her ANZ Championship career in New Zealand at the Canterbury Tactix. The ANL is a crucial step in developing elite players, coaches, administrators and officials in Australia for the ANZ Championship and international level competition. Taking the next step up are: Melbourne Vixens Kara Richards – Victorian Fury
