The VU Netball Academy provides specialist training for squad members as well as opportunities for national talent identification. VU support is offered in the form of sports psychology, nutritional therapy and osteopathy.

Both netball stars offered their personal stories of achieving success at the highest levels. They also conducted intensive training with Academy members that showed them what was required to play at an elite level.
