The Australian under 21 side has come together in Canberra for a three-day training camp to mark the first time the group has trained together over the past 12 months.

Coach Kylee Byrne says netball officials will make a decision at the end of the month regarding the tournament which is slated to run in Fiji from December 2-11.

But her 24-player squad, which will be whittled down to 12, are training as if the tournament will go ahead during a camp filled with match play, position-specific court training, and nutrition education.

"We've been extremely impressed with how this under 21 age group has just handled everything that's been thrown at them," Byrne said.

"It certainly presented different opportunities and challenges and what we actually saw from the athletes was just their resilience in their ability to adapt which when we're going into a World Youth Cup like we are it's actually some really good qualities to have to look out for.

"It's actually quite exciting seeing those new athletes that we're only meeting for the first time step up.

"There's some new ones to this new camp like Emma Walters (Victoria) and Jemma Donoghue (NSW) who we've never met before, it's actually really pleasing to see what they can do in these situations."

Camp comes to a close on Wednesday with the squad then set to rejoin their Super Netball teams on the road to the season where they will compete against one another for the championship.

Team selection for the World Youth Cup will commence later this year with selection hinging on performances in Super Netball, the Australian netball championships and ongoing squad training camps. In short, the pressure is on to perform whenever the players can.

"We just keep a really close eye on them, working with their coaches to see how we can support them from a national level, between now and national championships in Hobart in July, and then even September is the next big competition," Byrne said.

"We trust in what's happening around the country, netball's doing everything possible to put these athletes up for selection. We'll be watching closely."

Australia's under 21 squad will attempt to win the nation's fifth World Youth Cup since the integration of the competition, after losing to New Zealand in the grand final for the past two tournaments.

"The amount of depth we have is just huge, this group of athletes just desperately want the chance to put on that green and gold at this Australia under 21 level," Byrne said.

"I'm really confident, whatever 12 is selected to represent our country will do the job and we'll get that trophy back."
