England Netball has announced a new partnership with Catapult Sports to help measure the physical loading experienced by England Roses players.

The Australian performance analysis company will supply the team with 20 of its ClearSky T6 (T6) devices – the company’s smallest wearable monitors.

The T6 small enough to fit into the players’ sports vests and records their real-time performance data, including positional, inertial and event data.

It features intelligent software that will be used to analyse data which will provide coaches and players with new insights to help improve performance in training and matches.

It will also be used to reduce the risk of injury and validate return to play post-injury.

"Catapult is being used as one of the tools to provide objective data to answer the intensity part of the question," said Jools Murray, England Netball’s lead strength and conditioning coach.

"This data can help provide insight into the physical loading experienced by the athletes in competition and inform on the competitive conditions.”

Tracey Neville, head coach of the England Roses, said: “It's crucial that we have the best technology available to perform at the highest level.”

Karl Hogan, commercial director at Catapult, added: “We're delighted to enter into this partnership with England Netball – their commitment to training and appreciation of the technology is key.”
