Academy Overview:

The Whitbread Netball Academy, through our strong partnership with Saracens Mavericks, enables our student athletes the opportunity to access a structured high-performance programme of training and fixtures coupled with a high-quality teaching and learning environment at our outstanding Sixth Form. Students have the ability to study their chosen level 3 academic courses in a variety of subjects on either A-level or BTEC courses provision at Samuel Whitbread Academy. 

Our mission for the netball academy is to give our students the opportunity to be a part of a challenging but enjoyable high-performance environment whilst completing their academic studies.  On the course, students will experience high quality coaching, strength and conditioning sessions, nutrition and hydration education, individual and team match and performance analysis, recovery sessions and much more. 

We have a strong academic focus that ensures that students are working towards their target grades and have a clear plan and pathway for their future academics and chosen career paths. The programme has been designed around ensuring that our student athletes are fully prepared for the choices they make after their Sixth Form studies. We are proud to say that many of our netball players have gone on to study at their top selected universities with many choosing to continue to play netball at university.
