In 2011, Geitz played a major role for the Queensland Firebirds in their undefeated ANZ Championship win. In addition, Geitz was part of the Diamonds squad for the 2011 Netball World Championships in Singapore.

This move proved to be successful as the Diamonds prevailed over their rivals in a one-goal victory.
