Wales Netballers to Host Q&A for 2020 Results Day

We welcome attendees from across our membership who are interested in learning more about their options for after they finish school. Our athletes have a wide range of experience in education and they can give you advice on both educational and vocational options for when you get your results. They can also help give some words of wisdom to those who are worried about what their results may mean for them as well as advise aspiring young netballers on how they can combine netball with study and work. Depending on numbers of attendees, the session will either allow for direct questioning, or, utilise a chat box function for question submissions.
