The South Africa Under-21 national team will be playing in the Netball World Youth Cup 2025 Qualifiers Africa at the University of Pretoria’s Rembrandt Hall between 18-23 March. The purpose of this tournament is to qualify for the Netball World Youth Cup 2025 Gibraltar (NWYC2025).

Under-21 head coach Jenny van Dyk has invited a group of 15 players to a training camp from Thursday to Monday at the University of Stellenbosch. During this camp, she will select her final 12 players who will ultimately represent South Africa in March.

“We will use this training camp to test the fitness levels of the players, work on our connection and combinations and set out the game plan. We will also play some practice matches against the Southern Stings, Western Cape Tornados as well as some male teams.

"This camp will prepare the players to perform at their best when we hit the court in March for the Netball World Youth Cup 2025 Qualifiers at the University of Pretoria. Finalising the 12 is a priority,” Van Dyk said.

The players will undergo an intensive training session before the coach selects the team of 12, including three non-traveling reserves. The final 12 players will then come together again in March to prepare for the Netball World Youth Cup 2025 Qualifiers Africa.
