2015 NWC U15 & U17 Rep Trials

U15s preparing to take the court

PLEASE NOTE BELOW - AMENDMENT TO TRIAL FORMAT AFFECTING U15 TRIALISTS

In 2015 the Netball Wellington Centre intends to offer the opportunity for players to trial for selection in two Under 15 and two Under 17 representative age grade teams. 

In order to name two teams for the U15 and U17 age groups we seek a large pool of talented players from which to select.  Trials provide a great experience for keen players - we strongly encourage all Senior A & B and Junior A & B team members along with any netballers who feel they possess the appropriate skill level and attitude to put your name forward and give it your best shot.

Trial eligibility:
Players must currently play for an affiliated school or club team within the 2015 Netball Wellington Centre winter competition played at the ASB Sports Centre and must be aged under 15 or under 17 years of age as at 1st January 2015.
