Surrey County Netball Association
Talent Development Pathway
There have been many changes to the structure of Netball throughout England over the past couple of years. There are no longer County Representative teams at any age. Selection to trial for a place in the England Netball training squads follows a well-defined Player Pathway. This is player specific and has been designed to ensure that all players follow the recognised Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) programme.
An extensive netball talent development pathway now exists for youngsters in Surrey & SW London. The pathway starts at school year 7 and runs through to year 12. Training is focused on individual athlete development.

Match play is now provided purely through club and school competition. A new competition struture has been introduced by England Netball to support this club focused approach. There are 'Club' competitions in each County with the winners representing Surrey in a London & South East league, leading to a National Final - with teams representing each Netball region.
