National netball coach, Gabrielle Qoro has challenged the girls that if they want to improve their standings in the world ranking, they cannot sit back and relax.

Qoro made the comment following the funding by five Chinese businesses operating in Fiji which amounted to more than $70,000.

He said that other teams have been preparing for the last four years, and he has high hopes that Fiji can do just as well as they have proved themselves already.

The coach is adamant they will have to move up with our preparations and after completing their second Phase and into the third Fitness Test before the final trials next month.

Fiji is in the same pool with New Zealand, Wales and Trinidad and Tobago in the World Netball Championships that will be held in Singapore in July next year.
