    Krystine and Carla are joined by East Midlands Regional Chair Rowena Hackwood to break down the ever-evolving netball pathway, from junior clubs and county trials to franchises and Olympic ambitions. They talk navigating the system, supporting talented players, the rise of boys in netball, and what the future of the sport could look like on the world stage.
