Former South African netball player and SPAR NMMU head coach Lana Krige has been appointed coach of the senior national Fastnet team.
She takes over from Elize Kotze, who has accepted a temporary contract with the SPAR Protea side until after their tour to Jamaica in June.
A veteran of two World Cups and 82 tests, Krige will prepare the Fastnet squad for the World Netball Series tournament in Auckland, New Zealand, at the end of the year.
The fast-paced format was developed specifically for this series in 2008 and features six-minute quarters as opposed to the traditional 15.
Krige likened the game to the T20 version of cricket.
