The British Fast5 Netball All-Stars Championship returns on 30 October at the Copper Box Arena, London, with eight sides from the Vitality Netball Superleague (VNSL) set to take part and all existing VNSL-based Roses available for selection.
British Fast5 Netball All-Stars Championship is one of the most exciting formats in the game and features just five players-a-side, shortened match times, multiple point shots, unlimited roll on-roll-off substitutions and an exciting double point power play: setting the stage for guaranteed entertainment with the golden buzzer.
The format sees teams compete in a double elimination group stage before the semi-finals and final on the evening with Loughborough Lightning beating Wasps 61-35 in 2019 at a sold-out Copper Box Arena.
Loughborough Lightning will set out to win their third title with Manchester Thunder, Strathclyde Sirens, Saracens Mavericks, Team Bath, Wasps Netball, as well as debutants London Pulse and Leeds Rhinos all competing for the £100,000 prize fund.
Some of the biggest talents in the sport will take to the court including London Pulse’s Funmi Fadoju, Saracens Mavericks Sasha Corbin, and Gia Abernethy of Strathclyde Sirens.
Tickets will be on sale, Friday 17, September at 2pm with full ticket details coming soon. Tickets will be available via https://www.fast5allstars.com/ and you can subscribe for a free ticket alert right here.
