Seymour says for a lot of the players, the squad camp will be their first taste of being in a high-performance environment.
“Some of them have been in the NZSS team before but for a lot of the players, the three-day camp is the first step on the pathway to a potential career playing Netball,” Seymour says.
“The key is for them all to come prepared and focused and ready to fight for their spot in the team.”
Rotorua is hosting the Trans-Tasman U19 Netball Tournament in 2015, with the annual event changing format this year and extending into an Under 19 tournament. The NZSS team will compete against the Australian U19 A and B team (Australia Green and Australia Gold) and the Aotearoa Maori U19 team.
