Development Workshop
The Netball Excel (talent) Pathway is the England Netball process for developing athletes with the attributes to attain excellence. The programmes within the pathway are focused on developing athletes to reach their potential and form the foundations to enable England Netball to be the number 1 ranked team in the world. These programmes provide performance-enhancing training for individuals, not squads. Competition is outside the Excel Pathway Programmes, in clubs (county and regional leagues) and school competition.
The Development Workshops are the first stage of the England Netball Excel pathway and are for girls in school years 8 and 9, (nominations are done in the previous school year, for example 2015 nominations will be for girls in Year 7 & 8 in June 2015)
All Surrey schools and clubs are invited to nominate a maximum of 3 girls each to attend the Development workshops each June, with the workshops themselves taking place each September.
The U14 development workshops offer 4 weeks training with continuous assessment.
From each workshop the best athletes will be asked to attend the Surrey Satellite Academy trials (October) and successful girls will then be offered a place in one of the five Surrey Academies (October – March).
The development workshops are held at eight different venues throughout SW London and Surrey.
