Netball player success stories - Alana

I started training with Elite when I was 10, when I attended the camps and Zoom sessions during lockdown.

I wanted to develop my individual skills as a player and at such a young age I took any opportunity to play more netball.

I really enjoyed the Elite Residential Camp and in classes I liked the S&C sessions we had before or after the court sessions, as I think they helped to develop my fitness as a younger player.

Alana playing for LANC

I now play for LANC U16โ€™s as well as some senior games. I gained a place in Leeds Rhinos U17 NPL and I am also in the long squad for the upcoming U15 National Academies Tournament with Leeds Rhinos U15 (which I attended last year playing up a year).ย  As captain of my team at LANC, we were crowned U14 National Champions last year which is definitely my biggest achievement of all time, but this wouldnโ€™t have been possible without the help of Elite. I came to Elite as a shooter, but without Elite seeing the potential in me as a defender, I would never be where I am today. Iโ€™m very grateful for how much they have developed me as a player, plus my sportsmanship and teamwork too.

I would definitely recommend joining Elite as it has not only played a huge role in contributing to my success towards the player I am today, but has created friendships between me and people from different clubs, without which I wouldnโ€™t have interacted with before.
