Just noticed that Adamstown just announced their U14 squad for next year.
Interesting considering trials are not allowed until the 14th.
I have not been keeping track of the NPL youth trials, is this going on in the lowest NPL youth grade as well?
Well Adamstown aren't even bothering to run trails for next year. And from last year's 14s only two have been retained (though a some would have been kept and are now in 17s).
Ryan Campbell has come in and has managed to bring in a number of Jets players over with him, no doubt many of those girls in the 14s are from the Jets, he also would be able to bring them in for other age groups as well.
But to answer your question, yes a number of NPL, NewFM and WPL teams will be approaching players before trails, offering spots and inviting players to come and have training sessions with the club so that coaches can see them beforehand and potentially offer the spots and sign them up before trails start.
So the rumour mill is in full swing, what I have heard is Southy handing in their licence and Magic talking to NNSW.
If NNSW put Magic in at this stage of the year, it makes a mockery of their whole application/assessment/approval process.
I know Garden Suburbs have been keen for a while, and would be justifiably pissed if this happened.
How long until wallsends merge with Olympic is announced then?
I’ve heard from a mates Aunty that Merewether are merging with Souths and sharing Townson Oval.
How did Warner's Bay's trials go?
Merewether very happy with the standard of player we had trialing in U14/U17, definitely the best standard we have ever had. We had to let some girls go that we would like to have kept, but not enough places....
Seems that the awareness of WPL is growing.
