Natanya also added Shiri Sharon, who is leaving Ramat Hen after four years, and U20 national team player Roni Ben Nun who played in Bnei Yehuda last season.

Ashdod re-signed coach Adan Inbar and guard Natasha Lacy for another season, and added Ornit Shwartz from Raanana Hertzeliya and Rivi Grinboym from Bnei Yehuda. Grinboym led all Israelis in scoring last season with 16.1 points per game, she has spent the last four seasons in Bnei Yehuda.
Eli Rabi decided to leave Ramla after three seasons, his long time assistant Noa Rikanati was named the new head coach.
In other news, Bnei Yehuda announced that due to financial difficulties the club would not participate in the D1 league this upcoming season, and will only play in D2. As a result, Tel Kabir who was relegated at the end of last season will return for another and hopefully less pathetic season in D1.
