“We had great feedback from local schools after last year’s visit, so I know they’ll be thrilled to see the community day return. For students, having the chance to meet the players in the morning and then watch them compete at a professional level later that day is a powerful example of what’s possible. It’s great to see Magic returning and bringing that experience back to our city.”
Magic commercial manager Sheryl Dawson said Rotorua had proven to be a strong home for pre-season netball and acknowledged the support behind the community programme.
“The support we received last year exceeded expectations, and we’re thrilled to be back,” Dawson said.
“We’re grateful to the Rotorua Trust for their support of the community event, which allows our players to spend meaningful time with local secondary school players and inspire young people through netball. That connection is just as important to us as what happens on court.”
Tickets for the pre-season match can be found via Ticketmaster.
