ATTENTION Player's
Congratulations you have been invited to train with the AFL Capricornia Juniors U/14 representative squad. This initial squad will be made up of all eligible players from around the region. From this squad we will select a team to represent Capricornia at the 2018 AFL Queensland Under 14 Country Championships which will be held in Airlie Beach across the weekend of the 29th, 30th of June and the 1st of July.
To be eligible for selection players must be born in the years 2004 & 2005.
The Country Championships are the stepping stone to the Queensland Central Country Kookaburra team. Players selected in the Central Kookaburra’s will go to the state championships to be played on the Sunshine Coast from the 21st of September until the 25th of September. A levy of around $550 per selected player will apply if you are successful in making the Central Kookaburra team. From the state championships players will be identified for our Gold Coast Suns Talent Academy
Due to the early timing of the carnival the coaching staff felt it necessary to get the squad together and start trials at the start of the season. Throughout the trial sessions and club games we will be monitoring players, looking to add to the squad or delist players from the squad depending on their performance and conduct.
Training:
We will be running two trial sessions before picking our final squad for the championships. Our first trial session will be this Sunday the 20th of May at Mt Larcom SS, starting @ 10:00am Sharp until 11:30am. The remaining sessions are attached to this letter.

- Runners and Football boots
