THANK YOU to all those who took the time to attend this year's U15 trials and made every effort to show your talents to the best of your abilities.  It was fantastic to have the chance to observe you in action and the Selectors enjoyed seeing such a vast array of skill on display making the selection process a welcome challenge.  A big thank you to Selectors and Umpires for giving their time during the process.

Two teams with 12 players in each have been named.  Should your name not appear amongst the names below we thank you very much for putting your name forward to attend our trials and wish you all the very best this season.  We encourage unsuccessful players to continue fine-tuning your netball skills.  NWC intend to host a follow-on development opportunity for the U15 age group in Term 2&3 in support of those who narrowly missed selection.  If you would like to indicate your interest in attending this further player development opportunity we welcome you to email ndo@netballwellington.co.nz so we can keep you in the loop.  In the immediate future we are running our April Holiday Netball Skills Clinic to be held on Wednesday 19th April from 1pm to 4pm for Year 9-13. If keen to find out more follow this link to access further information including the online registration link.

As part of the trial process we are happy to provide you with personal feedback to benefit you and help you improve as a player.  Please note that due to the high number of trialists in U15, U17 and Year 9 grades we would appreciate some time to respond dutifully to all feedback requests.  Please therefore allow us until the end of the school holidays to respond which will allow us to collect and collate Selector's personal notes made during trials.  If interested in requesting feedback please email ndo@netballwellington.co.nz providing your name, trial number and age grade.

For those successfully named in the final teams, it is very important to know if for any reason you feel you may no longer be able to commit to playing for Netball Wellington Centre Reps this season as we now wish to commence full team training and form a solid team bond.  With that in mind, please advise via email to admin@netballwellington.co.nz or phone 04 387 6017 by 5pm Thursday 13th April.  We otherwise anticipate welcoming all named players to your first training (date listed below).
