Kia mate ururoa! Fight like a shark! Never Give Up!
The Representative program is a part of our Player Development Plan. All representative teams are now managed until the full Netball Whakatane Centre Committee and will be known as Whakatane EBOP.
The Netball Whakatane Centre Player Development Plan’s purpose is to provide the netball community with focused and accessible opportunities for our Rangatahi.
A supportive and safe environment with an emphasis on welfare and personal growth will be maintained by being process-driven. The Player Development Plan will have a long-term positive and beneficial impact by building fundamentally strong players, coaches, umpires, and officials. The community will be engaged to continually assess best practices to ensure the Representative Programme is innovative and relevant.
Congratulation to the following players named in the Whakatane Eastern Bay of Plenty Representative Teams for 2024. Training starts Wednesday 15 May followed by our Rep Camp Day on Sunday 19 May.
Special thanks to all the selectors, coaches, managers, helpers, WBOP Zone staff and administrators for all your help in preparation for our Representative season.
