Israel Netball held trials for the national team that will be participating in the Netball Europe Festival which will take place in Gibraltar in June 2012.

All five clubs were represented by 24 hopefuls who underwent a tough session that included warm-up, drills and short netball games with players constantly being interchanged.

National players in previous years, Rachelle Levi and Dominique Avivi held the trials and both agreed that the standard of netball has improved greatly. They will have a tough time deciding upon the 16 players who will shortly start intensive fitness and training sessions. A couple of months before the Festival, 12 of these lucky netballers will be selected to make up the Israeli team which will be coached by Jodi Carreira and Carol Levin, and managed by Roni Kersner; Dr. Gilon Gobrin the team's chiropractor will be accompanying them. 

In keeping with an Israel Netball management decision to give more opportunities to up-and-coming younger players, six of the 16 selected players – and later at least four of them – must be in the 18-25 age group.
