Dear 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 2017 AFL Queensland Under 14 Country Championships which will be held in Airlie Beach on the weekend of the 23rd, 24th and 25th of June.
To be eligible for selection players must be born in the years 2003 & 2004.
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 18th of September until the 22nd 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 three trial sessions before picking our final squad for the championships. Our first trial session will be Sunday the 7th 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
- Football / Running shorts (no board shorts school uniform shorts)
- Either club football jumper / or Club training singlet
- No NRL or Soccer uniforms.
- Water bottle (some water bottles will be provided at the combined training sessions.
SELECTION:
Selection will be based on the 3 A’s: 1. Attendance 2. Attitude 3. Ability
- If you are unable to attend a session coaches must be notified prior to the session taking place
- New players to the area are still encouraged to attend trails up until the final squad has been picked.
PLAYER LEVIES:
Player levy for this year will be around the$380 mark this is only possible due to a subsidy from the junior league.
