Netball NSW is excited to announce the athletes that have been selected in the 17U & 19U teams which will represent the State at the 2023 National Netball Championships in Darwin in April.
First contested in 1985, the annual tournament provides emerging talent from across the country the opportunity to represent their respective State or Territory and compete for national honours.
The Nationals are an important step in Netball Australia’s pathway, with many Australian Diamonds having previously represented their State or Territory in the event.
Mardi Aplin – General Manager of Performance & Pathways at Netball NSW - said this is an exciting and talented group of athletes
"Congratulations to all selected athletes, we know you will represent NSW with Waratah pride," she said.
"Head Coach of the 17U side, Amber Cross, and the 19U team coach, Jen Wright, cannot wait to start the campaign this weekend when all players and staff will come together for the first State Team Camp.
"Because of so much talent trialling, the selection process was very hard but that is a great problem to have because it highlights the competition we have for places.
"We wish everyone selected the best as they start preparation for the National Netball Championships and Go NSW!"
In 2023 NSW will be looking to go back-to-back having claimed the Gold Medal in both the 17U and 19U Nationals in Tasmania this year.
