Strict guidelines are in place for trials, and the club will enforce a zero-tolerance policy. Any breaches by players, parents, or spectators may result in being asked to leave. For any questions, please approach an official in a yellow vest. We ask that you avoid approaching the coaching staff unless specifically requested, as they are focused on multiple tasks and need to give each player the attention they require.

Field Layouts

We have provided (as part of the invitation to trial) field layouts for each session, which are subject to change without prior notice to players or parents. However, any changes to the locations will only be made with written confirmation.
