Young netballers across Dorset and the South West have just a short window to apply for trials at a new Netball Centre of Excellence launching at Bryanston School in partnership with London Pulse.
Trials take place on 17th May, but applications are now open – and expected to fill quickly.
The programme is aimed at players aged 13–16 (Years 9–11) and forms part of a new performance pathway designed to strengthen progression into regional and national-level netball. While based in Dorset, the trials are open to players from across the country.
The session will include warm-up, drills and match play, with selectors assessing movement, ball skills, decision-making and overall game understanding, alongside attitude and coachability. Selection will focus on long-term potential, not just current performance.
Successful players will be offered places on a structured development programme running from September, with weekly training over approximately 20 weeks. The pathway links into regional development centres and national league opportunities with London Pulse.
For players already competing at club or school level and looking to push further, this is a rare opportunity to access high-level coaching without leaving the region.
Applications are open now – but places are limited.
Applications for the trial will close on 24 April and can be made online: https://londonpulsenetball.com/product/london-pulse-bryanston-centre-of-excellence-trials-17-05-2026/
