PREMIER LEAGUE PATHWAYS PROGRAMS
TRAINING PARTNERS PROGRAM:
CONNECTING IDENTIFIED ATHLETES TO PREMIER LEAGUE & RESERVES OPPORTUNITIES
Training Partners are an important part of Norwood’s future pathway for athletes aspiring to compete at Premier League or Reserves level.
Selected training partners who have not been selected among the top 22 Premier League contracted Intent to Play players will be automatically selected into the Norwood AMND team for the winter season.
Training Partners will be considered for elevation into the Premier League Squad should a replacement player be required.
Training Partners are identified and selected through Premier League and Reserves trials and/or AMND trials.
ROOKIES PROGRAM:
CONNECTING IDENTIFIED INTERMEDIATE ATHLETES TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE ENVIRONMENT
The Norwood Rookies Program provides selected Intermediate athletes with opportunities to develop their on court and off-court capabilities within a connected, holistic, high-performance environment. The program supports each athlete’s future journey towards their goal of representing Norwood in Premier League or Reserves.
It is an outstanding opportunity to work towards the individual goals established throughout the program, develop greater self-awareness, and understand the standards, habits, and preparation required to become a high performing athlete.
Rookies will also experience the privilege of learning alongside some of the club’s leading players and coaches, building confidence, deepening their understanding of their own journey and continuing to strengthen their individual skill set.
Before the program begins, a Club contract will be initiated for each selected athlete to outline commitments, expectations and support throughout the season.
