Each year, Netball Northern seek expressions of interest for representatives to be a part of the Netball Northern scouting group. This group work to identify players within our zone who have the future potential to play performance netball.
Talent identification
The scouting group begin by gaining information about players at netball centres, followed by observing games at centre competitions and representative tournaments.
Members of the scouting group are present at the NZ U18 Champs, NZ Open Champs, NZ Secondary Schools Champs, and UNISS to see players compete within high level competitions.
