In order to name a strong team for the U19 age group we seek a large pool of talented players to select from.  Trials provide a great experience for keen players - we strongly encourage all to put your name forward and give it your best shot!

While we strongly recommend that triallists be available to attend ALL trials, due consideration may be granted to those who indicate their unavailability upon submission of their representative trial nomination form and provide a valid reason for their absence. Please therefore be sure to indicate any absences clearly so as not to unfairly disadvantage yourself.  In special circumstances a dispensation may be granted to those who provide a valid reason – please enquire at the time of registration or note on the online registration form.

U19 Rep Trial Nominations close 5pm Monday 5th May 2014

A nomination form must be submitted either by the trialist themselves or on behalf of the trialist prior to attending trials. For example, a previous Coach or School Sports Coordinator can submit a nomination on behalf of the trialist so long as the trialist is aware and agrees to attend. 
Coaches/Sport Coordinators - please advise players if you are nominating on their behalf so they know to attend.

We welcome all hopeful trialists and look forward to seeing your talent on display!
