NETBALL

The Greater Bank WRAS Netball program provides high performance coaching and training opportunities to up-skill athletes and assist them in progressing to higher representation within the sport of netball.

The program is endorsed by Netball NSW and provides talented netballers the opportunity to grow as netballers and people within the Netball NSW Athlete Pathway Framework

The program sits between local representative netball and higher-order representation such as NSW state team selection.

The 2023 netball program will run from late January 2023 to October 2023 and athletes will graduate from the program at the 2023 Presentation Night. Trials will be held in November 2022.
