Introducing PROJECT PHOENIX ๐ฆโ๐ฅ
Since losing Netball Super League status in 2024, Team Bath Netball have remained committed to finding ways to bring back elite netball to the Southwest.
Today we're excited to share an update from Project Phoenix - the independent project being developed to bring this aspiration to reality.
Franchise Operations Manager for Project Phoenix (and Netball Manager for Team Bath Netball), Emily Siddy said:
โProject Phoenix is about protecting the proud legacy of elite netball in the Southwest while building a franchise that is ambitious, sustainable and fit for the future. We are incredibly grateful to the supporters who have continued to stand with Team Bath Netball and the NXT Gen programme during this transition. Their passion, together with the strength of the performance pathway and the continued support of the University of Bath, gives us a powerful platform for what comes next.
Now we need that support to show its strength. We want fans to keep showing up, keep backing the programme and keep demonstrating the demand for elite netball in this region. We also want to hear from businesses, investors and partners who share our belief in the future of womenโs sport and want to be part of building its next chapter in the Southwest. This is more than just a return to the league; it is a chance to shape the next chapter of womenโs sport in the Southwest โ together.โ
