The Path to Selection

No one has the right to ‘expect’ a place on a team.

Trials will be held at the start of term 3.

Some training sessions will be offered, but you will be

personally responsible for your preparation.

The decision regarding who will form our team will be

based upon demonstrated ability, teamwork commitment

and a capacity for improvement.
