The following players have been selected to continue training with the Queensland Young Scorpions training squad in the lead up to the NAB AFL National Under 16 Championships which will be held in Blacktown Western Sydney in mid July.
It is important to note that the final squad will consist of 25 players and 5 emergencies, so consistent form at club level will be of paramount importance before the final squad is announced on Friday 17 June.
All the staff associated with the squad congratulates all players on their efforts and advise those that have missed this cut to continue to work hard on all facets of their game, as the selectors will continue to monitor their progress at club level. Coaching feedback will be supplied to these players over the next couple of weeks.
The selectors have had a very difficult task in cutting the squad back as the depth of talent at this age level is very good. Players listed below are required at training on Monday 30 May commencing 5.00 pm at Leyshon Park, Cansdale St Yeronga (AFL Queensland Administration complex) with the Wednesday session on 1 June at O’Callaghan Park Zillmere also at 5.00 pm start. Players from Regional Queensland ie Capricornia and Cairns will be notified as to their required training and practice match schedule.
NB- all continuing players including Country players must be available to participate in a team Camp to be held on Saturday and Sunday 4/5 June at Burleigh CYC – 22 Rudd St Burleigh Heads. As part of that Camp, AFL Combine testing will be conducted under the supervision of former AFL great and current Assistant AIS/AFL Academy coach Matthew Lloyd.
