Team Bath Netball have a proud history of developing young netballers into Superleague and international players.
That unwavering commitment to helping people achieve their full potential has led to the formation of a new Team Bath Netball Futures Pathway, ensuring that even more talented netballers from across the South West will get access to the Blue and Gold family and learn from our outstanding coaches.
Two Team Bath Netball Academies and four Team Bath Netball Hubs have been set up across the region, allowing nearly 100 aspiring netballers, aged from 14 to 21, to benefit from top-class coaching plus lifestyle and sports science support. This new network is also supported by Netball South West.
Many players from the Futures Pathway make up our age-group squads in the Netball Performance League (NPL). Click here to find out more about the NPL and see the 2019 squads at U21, U19 and U17 level.
