DEVELOPMENT PATHWAY
Geraldine Moore, National Development Manager :
“100% of national u17 players have come through u15 development centres.”
Jo Pettitt, National Squad Member,Member of Team Scotland:
“I was in a development programme when I was 13/14, which was a pathways squad for girls who are interested in getting into the national u17 squad. Which in turn would progress to the national squad.”
LAURA GIBSON-STIRLING UNIVERSITY NETBALL TEAM PLAYER
“I started playing netball in Primary School at age nine and as soon as I could I joined the local sports centre netball club. Even from a young age I was committed and attended every week without fail. My mum and dad have been my main supporters and they never miss an opportunity to watch me play. Different coaches played a massive role in more the technical side mainly the district coaches and national coaches as I progressed. As soon as I started playing netball I wanted to play for Scotland.”
“When I was 15 I trailed for the u17 Scotland squad, I was successful but was cut half way through the season. However I joined the North Pathways Squad, this was the beginning for me to progress to u17 to u19,u21s and then finally Open Squad.”
ALISON INNES-STIRLING UNIVERSITY NETBALL PLAYER
“ I didn’t play much in primary school but my dad was a football coach and I was made to go along to netball, my main supporters were my mum and dad but we had a family friend who was quite high up in netball so they helped out in coaching and guidance”
“I wasn’t aware of any pathways until I started playing at club level and I then was asked to trial for district and then the same for national level”.
CRITICAL ANALYSIS - PLAYER PATHWAYS
Alison and Laura both agree on the fact the pathways become clearer at the higher levels of development of netball.
Laura had clearer aims of reaching these levels in netball while Alison seemed to fall into netball and follow the pathways.
This highlighting two different players from different areas eventually ended up on the same pathway, it could be said netball need to reach players earlier to truly gain commitment and see development from an early age. This relates to Netball Scotland Performance Pathway 2010-2015.

SportScotland fund Youth D.O. position
FUNDING/EFFECTIVENESS
Investment low in comparison to Netball England
England lie in 3rd place in WR, 6 places above Scotland in 9th
INDIVDUAL FUNDING
Jo Pettitt
“I can apply each year for a sports bursary through my university (Strathclyde), and I am supported by SportScotland Institute of Sport, but Scottish Netball on the whole has very little funding in comparison to other sports, something we're hoping will change as soon as possible, especially after the Commonwealth Games and after the World Cup in 2015”
GAPS/PREDICTOR
Strengths/Weaknesses
Main gaps: Part time/full time
Rural areas failed with talent development.
Netball regionalised but poor due to regional dominance.
Funding drop?
2015-2019 –National League to improve club game (Geraldine Moore)
More qualified coaches, talent development in best environment.
