Team Bath Netball have a proud history of developing young netballers into Super League and international players.
Supporting the foundations of our Player Pathway is our Athlete Development Programme, made up of Athlete Development Centres (ADCs) that run across the South West of England. They allow nearly 200 aspiring netballers – aged from 14 to 18 – to benefit from top-class coaching plus lifestyle and sports science support.
We are delighted to announce that we have increased the opportunities for players to be involved in our elite training environment and now have 10 Athlete Development Centres, providing a presence in each county across the South West.
Natalie Roddy is the Academy Head Coach with overall responsibility for the Development Programme. The programme is then delivered at each of the centres by a network of talented regionally-based coaches, carefully recruited by Team Bath Netball.

Team Bath Athlete Development Centres form the foundation of Team Bath’s athlete development programme and are not part of the new England Netball Player Pathway Programme. All successful Under-15 athletes for the Team Bath Athlete Development Centres can only play in the National School Games Finals provided they are selected into the County Player Development Programme or Team Bath’s Under-17 Academy.
