Emily Brun - NZ Junior Black Sticks Camp

Emily Brun 16yrs was selected to attend the NZ Junior Black Sticks camp from 12th - 16th in October which was held in Cambridge.  Thirty two U18s were selected across NZ based on their performance at the recent National U18s Tournament, 34 U21 players were also selected to make up the 64 camp squad. Emily has come away from the experience with new skills, learning key concepts of the game and an insight of what it would be like as an athlete in the woman’s black stick team.  From the camp they will select an under 21 team to face Australia in the Junior World Cup qualifier in December 2022, and ultimately will qualify for the Junior World Cup 2023 in Chile.
