The Player Development Programme (PDP) is an in-season development programme for Year 7 & 8 netballers. It focuses on both the technical and tactical elements of netball, athlete development and fundamental movement skills.

This is not a representative team, the players work in their respective age group squads to develop their netball skills.

 N.B. To be eligible to trial for the NNH Year 7 & 8 Player Development Programme (PDP) you must be a registered Year 7 or 8 player in either a school or club team that plays in the winter competition at NNH.​​​​​​​
