The Emerging program is a junior development program based on Skill Acquisition training for players aged 9-12 years that was established with the aim to provide a challenging, fun and competitive training and playing environment for our talented and committed young players. The program’s aim is to develop players’ technical skills, game understanding and most importantly for them to enjoy themselves while learning to train with a structured approach. The program runs for 38 weeks of the year and forms part of our performance player pathway.
Emerging Program information pack
Trials for the Emerging program occur in late October/early November. For both the girls and boys programs there will be two sessions per age group where players will be assessed on their dominance of the four core skills, game understanding and attitude.
All players are expected to trial in their current age group. In the Under 9 Boys and the Under 10 Girls we will accept players trialling a year up (Under 8 boys and Under 9 girls respectively). Players may also be asked to trial a year up if they have excelled in the trials and have been identified by the coaches and selectors.
