He mentioned that the team is looking forward to the training camp scheduled for the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been conducting trials since Friday for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers in Pretoria, South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>The trials went well, and the players showed excellent mental and physical condition, contrary to our expectations. Selecting 15 best players was a tough exercise, as they all performed admirably during the trials,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n<p>Netball Namibia (NN) president Rebecca Goagoses also expressed satisfaction with the selected squad. She emphasised the importance of having trusted individuals to oversee the selection process to ensure fairness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am pleased with the selection process. We appointed individuals with the authority to select the team for the qualifiers. I believe we have assembled a team of high quality, and as a nation, we must support them and provide them ample exposure, similar to what the senior teams receive.<\/p>\n<p>This opportunity for our youth team to compete at the continental level is invaluable. With the right support, they can serve as a feeder team for our senior squad,\u201d Goagoses commented.<\/p>\n<p>Squad<\/p>\n<p>Cheree Brits, Godlove Victor, Loide Kanyolo, Athiella Mbaha, Uapandera Muundjua, Marne du Toit, Aila Andreas, Elizabeth Besser, Hope Kazondovi, Rosa Gowases, Grace Matyayi, Muhimise Jaepa, Tjikarerera Uamburu, Usuta Muvangua, Desdamona Tjirera, and Megan von Liere.<\/p>\n<p>Coaches<\/p>\n<p>Jones Musambani &#8211; head coach<\/p>\n<p>Vijanda Kamberipa &#8211; assistant coach<\/p>\n<p>David Tutaleni &#8211; assistant coach<\/p>\n<p>Rudolf Namaseb &#8211; strength and conditioning coach<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
