REPRESENTATIVE TRIALS 2016

Welcome to the SCCSA representative trials for the 2017 representative programme we thank you and your child for attending today.

After the 3 trial sessions the coaches will select their representative team or a squad of approx. 20 players. The coaches will be assessing all players until a final representative selection team can then be made.

Players will be notified by mail of the outcome of these trials. If your child is not selected please encourage them to keep up their ball skills and to be ready to try out again at the end of the next season. Subject to player numbers and availability of coaches your child if unsuccessful maybe invited to try out for a development team who will attend the Challenge Cup & Scenic Rim. Training sessions will start as advised by the coach. All teams will train at least weekly from the end of January onwards.

U-10’s Representative Teams will be coached and developed to play 11 a-side on a full pitch. Therefore if your child is selected into the representative program they may prefer to play up an age group in their club team, where possible.

You need to be aware of the SCCSA By-Law regarding number of players per representative team, particularly if you are intending to change clubs. This By-Law has been put in place to keep a fairer and better tournament between clubs.

“Only (5) five representative players are allowed in a club team, unless all “Rep-players” have played for that team for the last 3 years and/or relocated to the area or have not been registered in a SCCSA club previously.”
