Nine WAIS netball athletes have been selected to join 2020 Netball Australia Centre of Excellence Squads

Sloan Burton and Sunday Aryang has been selected for the 21 and under squad. In the under 19 squad Giselle Taylor is joined by Brooke Repacholli and Chelsea Bartlett. Completing the squads in the under 17 is Abbey Hicks, Cleo Kenny, Trinity Rond and Ruth Aryang.

Selection of these squads was conducted differently this year after the National Netball Championships, where selection is normally made, were cancelled due to COVID-19.

National selectors have since worked closely with state representatives within the National Institute Network to finalise the squads, assessing each athlete based on a range of attributes, focusing on current and potential performance.

With the squads now selected Netball Australia is aiming to hold training camps later in 2020 to provide development and competition support to the players.
