Team colours

The 2011 Central Pulse season was the fourth season that the Central Pulse contested the ANZ Championship. In 2011, the Pulse was captained by Silver Ferns defender Katrina Grant and coached by Yvette McCausland-Durie. The Pulse retained much of their 2010 lineup, although they have also lost three of their shooters from the previous season. Despite finishing 9th in 2010, the Pulse were not eligible for special assistance in 2011, due to changes to player eligibility rules.[1] Australian import Caitlin Thwaites helped the Wellington franchise to their highest ever placing, finishing eighth.
