After impressive debuts at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Netball Championship, where Westlake Girls finished among the top four teams in the country, four members of the Westlake Girls Premier Team were named in the prestigious National Development Camp (NDC). Year 12 students Karmen Maritz and Talia Chatfield, along with Year 11 students Aaliyah Sina’au and Phia Marshall, were selected to attend one of three camps in January.
The camps aim to introduce players to the performance pathway, with the potential of being selected for the New Zealand Secondary Schools Team. Over three days, the players will participate in fitness tests, skill development, position-specific sessions, and match play, focusing on improving individual skills and understanding the expectations of performance-level netball in Auckland from 12-14 January 2025.
