Victoria University Netball Academy is seeking talented young netballers to trial for 2016.
The VU Netball Academy targets talented players aged either 13, under 15 or under 17 for the rigours of elite netball. VU has produced many high-calibre athletes at both state and national levels since it was established in 2010. Earlier in 2015 the Academy was delighted to welcome Bianca Chatfield, a well-known netballer with a distinguished 13-year international career, as the new head coach.
Academy participants attend specialist monthly training and coaching sessions and have access to VU’s Aquatic and Fitness Centres, as well as the University’s allied health services such as osteopathy, nutritional therapy and massage.
