The pathway

A pathway with purpose.

NOVANTA’s pathway is designed around readiness rather than simply age. Players develop at different rates. Progression should reflect technical ability, tactical understanding, physical development, attitude, confidence and readiness for the next challenge.

01 / Readiness over age

Four stages.
One direction.

A clear framework for development, challenge and appropriate next steps.

  1. 01

    DEVELOPMENT

    Build the foundations.

  2. 02

    N90

    Raise the level of challenge.

  3. 03

    HIGHER-PERFORMANCE COMPETITIVE FOOTBALL

    Test readiness in meaningful competition.

  4. 04

    WIDER FEMALE FOOTBALL OPPORTUNITIES

    Find the right next environment.

02 / Progression beyond NOVANTA

The right next challenge.

NOVANTA should celebrate players moving into appropriate professional-club academy, ETC or other higher-performance opportunities.

Progression is individual. The purpose of the pathway is to help players and families understand the next challenge, with no promise of a particular outcome.
