The 2025 season holds promising opportunities for the squads as they set their sights on significant events, including the recent Netball NSW Regional Academies of Sport Camp held in March.
This camp served as a platform for players and officials to refine their techniques, enhance their understanding of the game, and connect with fellow enthusiasts from across the state.
Furthermore, the squads are eagerly preparing for the Your Local Club Academy Games, set to take place in April in Tamworth.
This prestigious event not only showcases the skills and determination of young athletes but also fosters camaraderie and sportsmanship among participants from various regions.
The success of the Netball program shines through the inclusion of several former athletes in both the Under 17 and Under 19 Netball NSW state teams, showcasing its efficacy and impact.
Regional Academies of Sport ltd commercial director Ian Robilliard expressed his enthusiasm for the extension of the partnership.
“We are excited to see the continued growth and development of our netball and umpire athletes through this partnership with Greater Bank,” he said.
“Their support allows us to provide top-notch training and opportunities for our players to excel both on and off the court.”
Greater Bank Head of Customer Lending David Baker said the bank was proud to continue the partnership with the Hunter, Central Coast and Western Region Academies of Sport to help nurture the next generation of netball talent.
“These academies do incredible work not just in developing players’ athletic ability, but also in building confidence, resilience, and strong community connections – values we share and are proud to support,” he said.
