LOCAL TRIAL DAY – Monday 27th March, 2017
VENUE: Shepley Oval, Pultney Street, Dandenong
TIME: 5:00pm – 6:30pm
ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS: This squad is for anyone turning 15, 16 or 17 in 2017 that has either been born overseas or is of Indigenous heritage.
The Neville Jetta Squad gives multicultural boys aged between 15-17 years old that have never played Australian Football an entry point to the elite talent pathway. The program is also designed for Indigenous and multicultural boys trying to get onto a TAC Cup list. This is a 10 week program designed to fast track the participant’s football development, to develop their football skills to play Australian Football and provide great education at the same time. The education sessions consist of a Reach Foundation talk that deliver youth empowerment workshops, AFL player mentoring, Nutritional talks from AFL dietitians, Leadership sessions and many more.
The program will conclude with matches against other TAC Cup diversity squads. At the conclusion of the program participants may be offered a spot on the main list of the Dandenong Southern Stingrays Under 15’s, Under 16’s or Under 18’s TAC Cup Squad. In 2016 the TAC Cup competition provided 55% of the young men that were drafted into AFL clubs. The Neville Jetta Squad is giving the participants in our Diversity squad a genuine pathway and opportunity to be drafted into the AFL.
