NZ Secondary Schools Netball Trialists Announced

Netball New Zealand today announced the 28 girls selected as trialists for the 2011 New Zealand Secondary Schools Netball Team. The trials are to be held in Christchurch at Pioneer Stadium, April 2011.

From this team, 12 players will be chosen to represent the New Zealand Secondary Schools Team in the Trans-Tasman Secondary Schools tournament, a competition that is based in New Zealand and Australia on alternate years, and will be held at Te Rauparaha Arena in Porirua, 2011.

NZSS Coach, Helene Wilson was thrilled with the amount of talent to choose from at Secondary School level.

“I am very excited about the depth and variety of the secondary school trialists chosen from around the country,” Wilson said. “With an aim of defending the International Schoolgirls Challenge title in 2011, these trialists have all made a commitment to work hard over the coming months in preparation for the trials in April.”
