Welsh Netball’s Head of Performance, Rosie Pretorius said: “The open Wales trials were a success with over 30 athletes attending from across the country. It was a great opportunity to unearth new talent and we are excited to develop these young athletes as we look towards our long-term goal of competing in the 2022 Commonwealth Games.”
She added: “The successful triallists will now join the current Welsh squad with a summer training programme ready to start their squad sessions in September. This is an opportunity for us to rebuild and implement much needed improvements to the performance pathway. I look forward to seeing this group develop and excel.”
Welsh Netball would like to congratulate the successful trialists and wish them well on the next stage of their careers within the performance pathway.
