England roses development framework

 

The Player Pathway, or England Roses development framework is the England Netball process for developing athletes with the attributes to attain excellence. The programmes within the pathway are focused on developing athletes to reach their potential and form the foundations to enable England Netball to achieve its ambition of being the world's best female sports team. 

The pathway is intended to be a guide for supporting coaches and selectors in preparing the next generation of talented players. Its goal is to provide a ‘shared language’ - a consistent approach to identifying, developing and aiding the progression of athletes towards playing netball at an international level.
