Dear Player,
Congratulations you have been invited to train with the AFL Capricornia Cyclones U/14 representative squad for 2009. From this squad we will select a team to represent the Capricornia Cyclones at the 2009 AFL Queensland Country Championships which will be held in Bundaburg on the 6th and 7th of June 2009.
The Country Championships are the stepping stone to the Queensland Country Kookaburra team, players selected in the Kookaburra's will go to the Gold Coast to contest the state championships from the 29thof June until the 3rd of July 2009.
We will be looking to pick a finalised team of 23 players 2 weeks prior to the championships. During the season we will be monitoring players, looking to add to the squad or delist players from the squad depending on their performance and conduct. This is the start of the AFL Q talent pathway for all boys with aspirations of playing AFL football, players recently drafted by AFL clubs including Paul O'Shea and Gavin Urqhart (Rockhampton), David Armitage (Mackay) and Brad Howard (Toowoomba) have all started at the under 14 country Championships. This is a great opportunity for you to start on the pathway to your dream.
We will be looking to train on Sunday mornings from 10am sharp alternating between three venues, Rockhampton (Stenlake Park), Gladstone (Clinton Park) and MT Larcom State School Oval. Also keep in mind if you are not registered in the U/13 or U14 age group for this year, you need to do so or you will be unable to represent AFL Capricornia Juniors.

PLAYER LEVIES:
The Levy for this year's carnival will be $300.00; this would be more if it were not for a subsidy from our generous sponsors Paul Archer the Good Guys. The Levy includes: Lunches, team photo, socks, shorts, team shirt and accommodation. I must point out that AFL QLD levies all regions equally and the cost of accommodation and travel is shared by all regions. The levy also pays for an ambulance to be present for the duration of the carnival and laundering of team uniforms.
REQUIREMENTS: * Runners and Boots
* Suitable Football training shorts (no board shorts school uniform shorts, no exceptions)
* Suitable top either football jumper or singlet
If you, your family or guardian have any questions please don't hesitate to call myself on the numbers below. If you are unable to attend any training sessions or need to discuss work commitments you may have to contact myself or Glenn Durbidge to discuss. We look forward to seeing you at training.
