Wisbech student Alana makes netball academy
Wisbech Grammar School Year 11 student Alana Pritchard has been selected for the Saracens Mavericks Futures Academy.
The Futures Academy is another step forward on the England Netball player pathway and Alana qualified after a screening process during October half term.
Alana started playing netball in Prep 3 at Wisbech Grammar School and has been a member of all the year group A teams.
She made her Senior 1st VII debut in Year 9 and has been a member of Rookies Netball Club from the age of 12.
She was selected for Cambridgeshire County Academy in 2017 and made the switch to the Norfolk County Academy last season.
Alana represented Norfolk in a county triangular tournament with Suffolk and Essex where she received the ‘Norfolk player of the match’ award.
A spokesman for the school said: “We are very proud of Alana. Selection into the Futures academy is a huge step forward and we wish her the best of luck with her future training.”
