If you have not already registered, please complete an expression of interest at https://form.jotform.com/241818547802865. A reminder of trial logistics will be sent to those who have registered via this form, prior to the day.
Please note the following logistics…
- Trials WILL proceed if it is raining. Trials will only be cancelled if there is lightning close by.
- Arrive 15 minutes before the trial with a ball, water bottle and sunscreen. Players wear their football kit, shin pads and football boots. Players do not have to check in.
- Trials generally last for 90 minutes.
- Please note there may be a follow up session on the Tuesday evening, by invitation only, pending the outcome of the Sunday trial. This will be confirmed on the Sunday.
- Unsuccessful trialists will NOT be provided feedback due to the volume of players trialing.
Please also note…
- All players MUST trial in their correct age group.
- All girls must trial in the girls trials, and will be considered for the Mixed JDL/SAP program, through this process.
- To attend trials, you must live within the NWSF boundaries, or have had a 2024 winter season registration with a NWSF club. If your child attends trials, is selected but does not meet this criteria, the offer will be withdrawn.
- Fees for the 2025 season for the JDL program are $1595.
- Training days and times for 2025 are to be confirmed. As a guide, SAP trained Monday, Tuesdays and Fridays 4.30-6pm in 2024.
If you have a question then please wait until trials, as you will have an opportunity to ask questions then. If you have registered and then are NOT attending trials, you do not need to contact the office.
