9: Chelsea Pitman

Courtside – The England Netball Podcast

Courtside is back for a second series, and this time we’ll be taking you behind the scenes as the Vitality Roses get ready to start their 2023 Netball World Cup campaign!

First up, we chat to Commonwealth Games and World Cup winner, Chelsea Pitman. The last few years have been a rollercoaster for Chelsea after she stepped away from the sport and experienced two miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy just before the pandemic. Returning to netball after some time with the police in Australia, Chelsea has climbed back up into the Vitality Roses squad and this summer will play in her first major tournament since the last World Cup in Liverpool in 2019.

Hear from Chelsea as she sits down with Lindsey Chapman and discusses the last few years of her career and opens up on the challenges she’s faced around fertility.
