Herefordshire County Academies
We are comitted to developing our young netballing talent. The academy programme is about developing individuals skills, it is not primarily aimed at competition. Match practice is gained through the clubs (see our local clubs) and schools.
County Academies are run for:
- Under 12's (training dates for 2012)
- Under 14's (2011/12 - selected athletes, training dates)
- Under 16's (2011/12 - selected athletes, training dates)
Trials are run each autumn with teachers proposing the players they feel most suitable. Girls who have been in the programme automatically get an invitation to trial for the following year.
