Bowls Auckland is thrilled to announce the wider Auckland representative training squads for the 2024-2025 season!

The squads boast a fantastic blend of youth and experience who bring a rich and diverse range of skills and talent. During the season, these squads will embark on a performance development programme, featuring both on and off-green training.

While the teams for upcoming events will be primarily drawn from these squads, the Selectors remain flexible. Players not currently in the wider squads, but who excel during the season will still have opportunities to be considered and potentially added to the squads or teams.

Head Selector, Alison Rennie, shared insight into the selection approach: “By naming a wider squad, we’re giving more players the chance to prove themselves throughout the season. This approach allows us to build a dynamic, versatile team who can rise to any challenge.”

1-5 Year Head Selector Robyn Reihana added, “Having a wider squad means we can look beyond just one season. We can work towards building depth in our representative squads, ensuring we have a pipeline of talent for the future – it’s all about developing and growing players.”

The playing squads for the first representative fixtures on 28 and 29 September will be named at a special Performance Season Launch event on Thursday, 12 September.

Congratulations to all players named and stay tuned for an exciting season ahead!
