Reflecting on this amazing achievement, Neve said “When I got the email to say I was successful, I was delighted. I feel very excited and proud as it will be a great experience and I’ve been training hard and challenging myself over the past few months to make sure I was ready. I’m so happy the hard work has paid off!” She also added “I can't wait to work on different aspects of my game and improve whilst meeting lots of amazing athletes who also love netball.”
Over the coming months, Neve along with the rest of the newly selected squad, will travel to Loughborough for regular training camps and they’ll take part in friendly competitions. Members of the Academy will also be up for selection for the upcoming Europe Netball U17 tournament in March and we wish Neve the best of luck for this process.
Claire Maggs, Director of Sport at Redmaids’ High congratulated Neve on this outstanding accomplishment saying, “We’re all so proud of Neve and are thrilled that she has been selected for the England Netball Roses Academy programme again this year. It is extraordinary how far she’s come since she discovered her passion for netball in Year 7 here at Redmaids’ High. She is an incredibly talented athlete, and we can't wait to see what she will achieve through her continued time with the Roses Academy.”
Redmaids' High has launched this year's national cup campaigns in multiple age groups. Neve was an integral team member of the squad that won the U16 National Schools Netball finals and we wish all of our players well for the season ahead.
