Umpires from affiliated Associations in the Wheatbelt-Goldfields may be identified and selected into the Wheatbelt-Goldfields Umpire Development Academy. Umpire selection for this program comes primarily from the Wheatbelt-Goldfields Regional Championships. However, umpires that have been identified at other Carnivals or Association visits can be included into the program. Umpires may be invited to the Wheatbelt-Goldfields Talent Development Camp as a component of the program.
 
This program offers selected umpires the opportunity for further pathway development both on and off court. 

Athletes and coaches from affiliated Associations in the Wheatbelt-Goldfields may be identified and selected into the Wheatbelt-Goldfields Talent Development Group. The athlete selection for this program comes primarily from the Wheatbelt-Goldfields Regional Championships. However, if there is a valid reason as to why an athlete or coach is not able to participate in the Championships and they have been identified at other Carnivals or Association visits they may be included into the program.

The State Cup Competition provides the opportunity for the players, coaches and umpires in Association and Regional Representative Teams to compete against each other. The State Cup sits within the Netball WA Competition Pathway and is one of the viewing points to move into the next level of programs and pathways. The State Cup Competition is held annually.

There are many performance areas to which Coaches, Umpires, and Players from Associations in the region may be selected. We congratulate and celebrate the success of these individuals who through hard work and determination have been selected into the next performance levels.
We thank the Associations and the many others who have assisted them, from their family though to their coaches and mentors that supported and guided them on their journey.
