Welcome to our Inspire Netball Emerging Talent Academy™ for 2026. We are excited for the

opportunity to work with you to help you further develop your netball skills and abilities as well as your overall development as an athlete.

.

Please note: we only have 20 places Available in each age group.

We’re looking for athletes who don’t just want to train until they get it right — but until they can’t get it wrong — even under the pressure of game day.

.

The Emerging Talent Academy (ETA) is Inspire Netball Group’s trademark development program, designed to support athletes in taking the next steps on their netball journey. Tailored for players who are ready to push themselves further, the ETA focuses on:

.

• Advancing technical skills

• Building tactical and strategic understanding

• Sharpening game sense and decision-making under pressure

.

Unlike standard training sessions, the ETA follows a structured year-long curriculum. Each week introduces a new skill or strategy that’s specifically relevant to the athletes’ stage of development.

Our approach ensures athletes:

.

• Break down and understand the key components of every skill

• Receive ongoing, targeted technical feedback

• Refine execution through deliberate practice and repetition

• Build the confidence to perform consistently in high-pressure situations

.

The ETA isn’t just about improving skills — it’s about developing complete athletes who are prepared for the challenges of the next level in their pathway.
