Dear Player, Congratulations on your decision to trial for selection in the School Sport WA State Schoolboys Football Team. The selected team will compete in the National Football Championships being conducted in Geelong, VIC from 17 - 26 July this year. The competition boasts a 92-year-old history and is seen by educators as a platform of excellence to promote and encourage elite performance and participation in Australian Rules football.
You are invited to attend your trial at the nominated time. A list of trial times and players allocated has been published on the SSWA website on the following page: http://www.schoolsportwa.com.au/interstate/afl/boys-15s/. Your trial will last 3 hours. Players are requested to arrive 15 minutes prior to start time to allow trials to commence at the nominated time. It is the responsibility of the player and parent to advise their school of their attendance at the trial. Parents are encouraged to attend the trial with their son if possible. Players need to come prepared to train and compete in games. They must bring football clothing, boots, mouth guard etc and wear a football jumper. All players are responsible for bringing their own [labelled] water bottle.
Successful players at the first trial will be asked to attend another trial on Thursday 30th April in Perth when a reduced squad of players will be invited to train further and be considered for selection in the Western Australian Team. To be considered for State Schoolboys selection you must be under sixteen as of December 31, 2015. You must also be currently attending school and your school must give permission for your involvement in State Schoolboys Football.
We are very conscious of demands placed on you during the football season. Commitment to training with State Schoolboys Squad will involve up to 10 Monday/Wednesday training sessions. Special arrangements will be made for boys from the country.
There will be costs involved in participating in the team and more detail can be given at a Parent Information meeting on Monday 18th May. It is anticipated that the cost will be approximately $2000-$2500.
Once again, congratulations on your decision to seek selection and we look forward to seeing you at the trial. If you have any further concerns or are unable to attend the trial please contact Ray, Peter Della or myself [preferably by email]
