Cook Islands Netball World Youth Cup 2025 trials will begin today under the watchful eye of coach Lux Letoa.

Closed sessions will be held from 9am to midday and another session will be held from 2pm-5pm at the National Sports Arena.

The trials open session will be held on Monday (April 21) from 6pm-8pm.

According to Netball Cook Islands, they extended the registration period to Thursday, April 17.

NCI secretary Jenna Tere had earlier mentioned that trials are open to all Cook Islanders, locally and overseas based players.

And it would be an excellent opportunity for players to showcase their talent and earn a spot on the national team.

The Cook Islands U21 team that secured the Netball World Youth Cup qualification in a tournament held in Rarotonga in September last year comprised both local and overseas-based players.

Tere said the team’s success was a remarkable achievement.

Netball Cook Islands will select a training squad of 20 players, with only 12 players selected to represent the Cook Islands at the Netball World Youth Cup.
