The trials are open to:
Male Players born 2011, 2010, 2009.
Female Players born 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009.
Male players born in 2012 who are currently not in the GIANTS program are also able to register to trial for our 2027 U15 Male Program, noting that these trials will be held in late Jan/early Feb 2027 in Sydney, Canberra and Wagga Wagga, with final dates, venues and times TBC. Registered participants will be updated later in the year.
Academy staff are on the lookout for players possessing combinations of endurance, speed and agility, power and clean skills in kicking, hands, and contest.
The trials will consist of a time trial (2km for boys, 1.6km for girls), as well as skill and contest drills. Coaches and staff will be assessing all aforementioned attributes throughout the trials.
*Players residing outside the GIANTS Academy zone are able to attend, however please note that it is more unlikely than likely that you will be offered an invite post the trial.
Full and final information will be sent directly to registered participants closer to the events.
Only registered participants will be eligible to trial. There is a $33 (Incl GST) non-refundable charge to register for the trial to cover costs, including venue, staffing and equipment.
