South Africa and England challenged Australia in the Netball Quad series in January, pushing them all the way in into the final quarter of their matches but in the end Australia prevailed. 

During her time off Geitz was approached by Suncorp to be an ambassador for the #TeamGirls program and she said it just made so much sense to be part of the movement.

The program is there to promote and foster girls' confidence through sports participation.

"For me, those most memorable moments in my life in netball have been all about my teammates achieving those premierships and gold medals alongside me," Geitz said.

"I had a tough time breaking into netball – I was so conscious of my height as a teenager and so awkward.

"I felt very out of place and uncomfortable when I was attending selection events, and it was a friendly face, a helping hand or a pat on the back from another girl which was exactly what I needed to keep going," she said.
