Netball SA is excited to announce the athletes who have been selected in the Adelaide Thunderbirds Talent Academy program for 2025 and the coaches appointed to lead them.
Trials have been conducted across South Australia in recent weeks and the selectors were faced with some tough choices.
We are excited to see the talent coming into the pathway and look forward to watching the next generation of players develop within the program.
