<p>Seymour says for a lot of the players, the squad camp will be their first taste of being in a high-performance environment.</p>
<p>&#8220;Some of them have been in the NZSS team before but for a lot of the players, the three-day camp is the first step on the pathway to a potential career playing Netball,&#8221; Seymour says.</p>
<p>&#8220;The key is for them all to come prepared and focused and ready to fight for their spot in the team.&#8221;</p>
