U12 Mixed Player ID

Boys and Girls Born 2012 (and girls born in 2011)

  • Players can attend these sessions with the aim of playing in a Pre-Development team during 2024.  The Pre-Development teams play their weekly games on Saturday mornings and are a stepping stone towards playing in a Pre-Academy team.  While the majority of players choose to play in teams alongside friends in the in-house games on Sunday mornings.  Players in the Pre-Development teams may be more motivated - and will be committed to train 2x weekly during the main season (terms 2 & 3). 

    *Following these sessions, some players will also be invited into the U12 Pre-Academy group for the 2024*
