Solomon Islands national netball team will play warm up matches in Australia this week, as part of their preparation for the upcoming 2023 Pacific Games.
The team will go through a seven day program in the Gold Coast, where they will receive expert coaching from Australian mentors.
The netballers will also participate in high level trial games against semi-professional franchises and other Pacific teams.
Solomon Islands National Institute of Sports performance manager Amanda Korinihona says the tour will be "a great experience for them to perform as a team on international level".
Eight Honiara-based players left the capital city on Monday, while the rest are expected to join the team on Wednesday.
