The Thunderbirds will defend their crown from a new home court, now playing out of the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. As they embrace this opportunity, we want to extend our heartfelt wishes to CEO Bronny Klei, Head Coach Tania Obst, Captain Hannah Petty and all the Thunderbirds players, coaching and support staff for a successful season ahead. We are proud of our partnership with Netball SA and the Thunderbirds, providing commercial advisory and sales support. As one of the leading professional netball teams in the country, the Thunderbirds offer exceptional opportunities for brands and businesses to align themselves with a large and engaged fan base, a raft of impactful participation based leagues and community programs and a high profile and winning team that represents their State with passion.

At Dime Sports Group we wear our heart on our sleeve.  Our team share a common vision to do things differently, to do it better and to operate with our clients’ interests at the front of the queue.

Our people are our business. Those people are a collection of leaders that live our values.

Dime has been built on ideas, on a disruptive viewpoint and with a social purpose that underpins how we behave.

We remind ourselves each day and week of our ‘why’.

“Business is returning to its original roots, the purpose for which it was initially created – to serve the community in which it operates and create ‘Shared Value’. Shared Value requires business to adopt policies and procedures, and develop purpose, that allow for revenue maximisation while offering benefits to the wider community and customers…Defining social purpose and using this as a company’s strategic positioning opens new opportunities for profit and growth while motivating and attracting clients, employees, business partners, and shareholders…it is not about putting Purpose ahead of profits, it is Purpose that drives profits…”
