Pathway & Talent

  • The Birmingham Panthers pathway is designed to identify and develop talented players from across the region.

    There are different routes into the pathway depending on a player's age, experience and level of performance. These can include school, club, academy and talent identification routes.

    Details of upcoming trials, including eligibility, dates, venues and registration information, will be published on the Panthers website and official social channels.

    We want to understand the talent within our region rather than relying solely on traditional trial processes. Our wider strategy is to build relationships with schools, clubs and the local netball community and identify talented players from across the region.

  • Yes. If you believe a player has potential, you can contact the Panthers pathway team and share relevant information about the player and where they are playing.

    While we cannot guarantee that we will be able to attend every match, we welcome information that helps our talent identification team understand the players and talent within our region.

  • Yes. Video can be useful as part of the talent identification process.

    Where possible, footage should show the player in game situations rather than only isolated skills, and should include information about their age group, team and level of competition.

    We want the pathway to provide opportunities for talented players who may not previously have had access to an elite environment.

    The longer-term vision is to create a pathway where talented players can develop towards the highest levels of the sport.
