A brand new Bartercard Surrey Storm ASPIRE programme based in Andover, St Theresa's Effingham, Ranelagh School and Havant and South Downs College. This will not form part of the Bartercard Surrey Storm or England Netball Player Performance Pathway, however, it will  provide an opportunity for athletes who are unsuccessful in their application for the Performance Pathway at this time to continue to develop their individual skills under the insightful direction of Bartercard Surrey Storm coaches throughout the year as well as provide competitive opportunities Vs the other ASPIRE groups.
