We have now finalised our senior summer training and trials programme and, based on player and coach feedback, have made some changes to our approach to trials with the aim of being better prepared for the early start to competition in September.
The intention is to hold summer training in June through August, and hold trials in the last week of June and the first week of July where players will be placed into 'long squads' across those teams who usually train together. Summer training will continue after trials.
Our aim is to allow players to training in their potential squads over the summer period in preparation for the season. The squads may be slightly larger then the final selected squads and there may still be movement both up and down between squads before final squads selections are made at the end of August. However, we hope that this approach will allow a greater time for players to be considered for squads, reduce the emphasis and pressure on the traditional trials process and allow longer and better preparation for the season.
Final squad selections will take place on Aug 30th and Aug 31st.
We welcome all players and aim to offer coaching and competition at all levels across our 8 senior squads
