More about the Academy:
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.

$1285+GST - Includes Uniform (Hoodie, Training Tee, Shorts and Socks).
$250+GST Non refundable Deposit - payable upon completion of registration.
