TEAM AUSTRALIA
NSL TRIALS
Invite Only
NSL TRIALS will be held over two weeks at Hardcore. Trials are exclusively invite only. Former Team Australia Players automatically receive an invite. Other Players will be scouted and invited from their attendance at the following events: (1) DRILLS - SKILLS - KILLS Clinics, and (2) Season 1 ZONES League. An invite to Trials does not guarantee a Player a spot on Team Australia. All invited Players (former or new) will need to trial. Selection will be based on a number of factors at the trial events, but current participation in the sport will be expected.
