173 athletes have been named in Netball Victoria’s 2025 Talent Academy, a development program for athletes aged 14-16 years old, that provides an avenue in the high performance pathway towards state and national representation.
Netball Victoria runs six academies across the state to ensure identified talent in all regions have access to pathway coaches and resources to not only further their tactical and technical skills, but to grasp the importance of athlete wellbeing and physical preparation required to transition to the elite pathway opportunities.
Athletes are talent identified at Netball Victoria’s major competitions, the Association Championships and State Titles and invited to trial for their region’s academy.
From there, they train together as a region, preparing for the Inter-Academy tournament in August which is where they can be selected into the top 50 for the Victorian state team trials.
40 athletes have been named in the Central East academy, 32 in Central West, 24 in Eastern, 31 in North East, 24 in Northern, and 22 in Western.
Netball Victoria congratulates the athletes selected for the 2025 Talent Academies.
