Khumo Segopolo from Trinityhouse Little Falls is still in contention after progressing to the next stage of the ongoing Gauteng netball trials.

Since their commencement in March, their trials are still underway and continue to bring together some of the province’s top young netball players competing for selection. Khumo has done well enough in the earlier rounds to move forward as the process continues.

The selection process is known for being tough and tests the players’ skill, fitness, teamwork and their ability to make decisions under pressure. With these various stages of assessment, only the most consistent performers move through to the next round.

The trials remain one of the important pathways for young netball players who wish to represent the province, and Khumo is now among those still in the running.
