About Elite Netball Academy:

Delivering the ultimate netball experience, we offer a progressive pathway for netball players of all ages. Our academy supports players at the beginning of their netball journey to players with big aspirations.

Under our founder, former Superleague coach and international pathway selector Anna Carter, Elite want to create unique opportunities and progressive experiences through the sport that last and transcend every aspect of a player’s life, on and off the court.

Anna and the coaching team at Elite Netball bring passion, experience and knowledge of the game at the highest level to help players progress and gain school, club and pathway selection. We have a strong reputation for helping players make franchise and pathway programmes for Superleague netball clubs in the UK.

Elite Netball Academy supports a player’s netball journey in a professional and driven environment that works alongside club or school netball commitments.

The popularity of Elite and the volume of requests we have received to attend our U13 and U15 academy programme in Essex means we are expecting high demand for trial places.

Early sign-up guarantees a trial place.

Elite classes supplement your club/school training programme to help you get the most out of your club/school matches. We focus on four performance pillars – physical, performance, tactical and psychological.

If you are successful, Elite classes happen weekly during term time. Training sessions include technical netball coaching plus strength and conditioning coaching. Regular individual feedback is provided throughout the year and there will be opportunities for players to network with our other regional academies at play days and camps.

This Essex academy will run under Head Coach, Megan Fraser, who will follow the guidance of Anna Carter (former Superleague head coach and England player) and use Elite Netball Academy training structures. We will also organise for our brand ambassadors (Nat Panagarry or Berri Neil) to visit the Academy for a guest coaching session in each block.
