As part of Netball New Zealand’s pathway development programme, 85 promising young players have been selected for three National Development Camps to be held in late January and early February.
The selections recognise the cream of New Zealand’s secondary school talent and the start of the next generation’s developmental pathway.
NZSS coaches Te Aroha Keenan and Pelesa Semu together with the NNZ Emerging Talent Selection Panel of Adrianne Morrin, Robin Manihera and Nicky Patterson have selected 60 players for two camps being held in North Island and 25 for the South Island camp.
The selection process has been supported by working closely with Zone staff to identify the up and coming talent from each region.
The rising young prospects will be put through their paces across a number of areas which will include on and off-court specifics combining the playing side as well as the wider issues of progressing to top-flight netball.
