Performance Pathway

South Yorkshire County Netball Association (SYCNA) aspires to be a major feeder to the Leeds Rhinos Academy Squads. To achieve this goal we must develop more performance athletes who can function both individually and as a leading team. This aspiration provides a beacon to guide all Performance activity and decision-making, including the management & delivery of the identification, and development of athletes within the County Player Pathway Programmes.

The county performance pathway is the ONLY pathway to be able to progress into the Leeds Rhinos franchise as we have to nominate athletes.
