Metaltex is now a proud major sponsor of the Southside Flyers (WNBL) National Women’s Basketball League.
The club is based in Dandenong, Melbourne, Victoria. The team was founded as the Dandenong Rangers, however before the 2019–20 WNBL season began the team was rebranded to the Southside Flyers. Historically one of the better teams in the league, the Southside Flyers have appeared in the Grand Final five times.
The Southside Flyers is a fresh start for the team with fresh faces, fresh plans and a completely new look for basketball and women’s sport. The Australian women’s basketball team is ranked number three in the world and we want to build a culture and profile for this team and the sport that reflects this world standing.
The inaugural Head Coach of the Southside Flyers is Cheryl Chambers, one of the most successful and respected coaches in Australian basketball. Cheryl is a 3-time WNBL Coach of the Year and an Assistant Coach of Australia’s National Team, the Australian Opals.
