Netball Development
2024 Netball Development Program
The 2024 Netball Program commenced in December 2023 with an Induction for 44 Netballer’s. We have again divided the program into The Doc Shop Dare to Develop a Diamond (DDAD) Program and the Development Program.
The Development program will deliver a shorter program to enhance the skills of athletes with the view for these athletes to be eligible for the DDAD program the following year.
