The Junior Representative Programme is an opportunity for players to take that next step in the player pathway. It offers quality player development, recognition in Taranaki and life long friendships.
In 2025 we had six teams in the following age groups U14 Development, U14 Girls, U16 Girls that represented Taranaki at three
preparation tournaments in Porirua, Palmerston North and Whanganui. Our girls teams continued on to compete at North Island Junior Championships here in Taranaki over 3 days.
From North Island Junior Championships we had 3 players selected for the U16 Tournament Team.
We had 11 players invited to attend Central Zone Secondary Schools Tournament to gain selection into the Advance Camp for Secondary Schools.
