At Worthing College, we don’t just develop better players; we develop better people. Academic athletes progress to university, apprenticeships and careers across sport and beyond, while some continue competing at regional, national and high-performance levels of netball. The skills, experiences and support gained through the Academy provide a platform for success both on and off the court.
A typical week includes technical and tactical netball training, strength and conditioning, competitive fixtures and opportunities to represent the College at regional and national championships. As former back-to-back National Champions, players also benefit from ‘Beyond the Court’ work in psychology, nutrition, recovery and performance analysis, helping deliver the extra 1%s that drive success.
An Academy membership fee supports the programme and provides gym access. A training and match-day kit package is also required and will be communicated to successful applicants.
