The next crop of pathway talent was revealed last Thursday, with the announcement of the Victorian 17/U and 19/U state teams to compete in next year’s championships in Sydney.
The teams of 12 have been named after a selection process since August, where squads of 50 were narrowed down to 25.
The squads have been involved in Netball Victoria’s Elevate program, introducing them to aspects of high performance environments such as strength and conditioning, nutrition, athlete wellbeing and skill development.
Initially, athletes were talent identified at Netball Victoria’s pathway competitions, association championships and state titles, as well as through Netball Victoria’s Talent Academies across the state.
