Next-Generation Netball Talent Chosen for 2026 National Development Camp

Ninety secondary school netballers from across 91ɫƬ have been invited to take part in three regionalised development camps in January.  

Selections are based on nominations from Zones, combined with ongoing tracking by the NNZ Emerging Talent Selection Panel throughout this season and previous years.

NZSS Head Coach Jo Morrison, who will again lead the NZSS programme, said the National Development Camp would challenge athletes on and off the court, offering important insight into becoming a performance netballer.

“Over each of the three-day camps, players will take part in movement-competency screenings, skill sessions, one-on-ones, position-specific development and match play,” Morrison said.

“The aim of the camp is to educate, grow and challenge, while strengthening individual skill sets and helping players understand the standards and expectations required to become a performance netballer,” she said.

Morrison said she was excited to have a number of returning players to the camps and is looking forward to seeing the shifts they have made throughout the season, while also welcoming new players into the environment.
