The Elevate Program will provide emerging talented athletes aged 15-18 years with the delivery of holistic skill development, strength and conditioning and court work sessions within a controlled daily training environment, operated at the State Netball Centre in Parkville.

Exposure to this daily training environment will support improved physical preparation in the leadup to State Team and Victorian Netball League (VNL) trials. The program has been developed to support long-term success for Victorian teams at the National Netball Championships, and to align with the restructured VNL competition.

The program is delivered in the second half of the year, in alignment with the State Team program and VNL competition, and may expand in future to include competition experiences.
