The cream of New Zealand’s secondary school netball talent will put their credentials to the test during three National Development camps to be held during January.
Ninety secondary school players from throughout New Zealand have been invited to attend the three regionalised camps to be held in Auckland, Ashburton and Hastings.
Selections were based on Zone Feedforward nominations, which include feedback provided by the Zone performance staff, zone talent spotters and/or team coach. This was combined with previous tracking by the Netball New Zealand (NNZ) Emerging Talent selectors and reviewed.
"This is a really important component of the pathway process for these young players,’’ NNZ Pathway Programs Manager Nicky Cattermoul said.
"Over each of the three-day camps, players will undergo a series of movement competency screenings, fitness testing, skill sessions, position-specific sessions and match play.
"The aim of the camp to is educate, grow and challenge, to help improve individual skillsets, but also for players to gain an understanding of the expectations to be a performance netballer.’’
The camp will be led by New Zealand Secondary Schools Head Coach Pelesa Semu and Assistant Coach Jo Morrison. They will be assisted across the camps by the Synergy Hair National League Head coaches – Ripeka Pirie (Northern Marvels), Michelle Parsons (Northern Comets), Te Aroha Keenan (WaiBOP), Ngamara Milner-Olsen (Central Manawa), Geni Ah Tong (Mainland) and Abbey McKenzie (Southern Blast) along with support from NetballSmart staff.
