Fiji Pearls head coach Una Rokoura has announced a western and central Fiji Pearls squad last weekend after the FinanceHub Super League main final between Suva Swifts IGA and Lautoka Stars.
The central squad is made up of players from Tailevu Doves, Nasinu Tactix, and Suva Swifts while the Western squad comprises players from Nadroga Stallions, Nadi Netball, and Lautoka Stars.
The extended squads will participate in selection camps held in Lautoka and Suva during the offseason, leading up to the final squad selection.
Apart from the Pearls final team, two Fiji A West and Fiji A Central will also be selected where they will be part of the high performance program within their districts.
Coach Rokoura explained that the players have been identified during our 2024 Netball season, Rokoura added that “these players will undergo a training selection camp with their respective squad.”
“At the end of these camp we will name the Fiji Pearls Squad | Fiji A Central Squad & Fiji A Western Squad. Pearl’s squad will consist of 17 players while the Fiji A’s will have 15 each.”
“The importance of setting up 2 Fiji A squads is to increase our pool of players within our HP Player Pool. This is one of our big grey areas during our 2022-2023 WNC Campaign. This opportunity will allow all good and potential players a fair chance to be
part of the HP system and also. It will also allow us to have a good pool of players to look at.”
