2011 Canterbury Tactix season

The 2011 Canterbury Tactix season was the fourth year that the Canterbury Tactix contested the ANZ Championship, and the fourteenth year of their competitive history. Naming of their full roster for 2011 was delayed due to the 2010 Canterbury earthquake.[1] Their final roster included two new international players, Jamaican Kasey Evering and former Silver Ferns player Donna Wilkins. Helen Mahon-Stroud coached the team with Julie Seymour as assistant coach, heading a revamped coaching structure announced in July 2010.[2] Wilkins joined Maree Bowden as Tactix co-captains.
