The Representative programme is a part of our Player Development Plan.
The Netball Whakatane Centre Player Development Plan’s purpose is to provide the netball community focused and accessible opportunities to both young and older players.
A supportive and safe environment with an emphasis on welfare and personal growth will be maintained by being process driven. The Player Development Plan will have a long term positive and beneficial impact by building fundamentally strong players, coaches, umpires, and officials. The community will be engaged to continually assess best practices to ensure the representative Programme is innovative and relevant.
