Our Talent Squads:
Early Years:
We provide children a safe, fun atmosphere with a supportive coach who makes the child feel special, generating enthusiasm for netball.
Junior Years:
Our main priority is to provide a strong netball foundation for our players. Our junior netball players are coached to improve on existing skills, as well as master new skills to enhance her/his performance.
Senior Years:
We believe that a high standard of junior development will result in a higher level of senior performance. This will mean more elite sporting opportunities for our players when they reach senior level netball.
Management Committee that ensures talent development is a top priority.
Our talent identification program uses a systematic approach to finding potential high performance netballers. The players undergo a number of sport skills and physical tests to see if they have the right qualities to play elite netball.
