Aspiring Training Squad
This year we will pilot a new initiative to motivate and inspire young emerging players by inviting them to train with the Senior Team(s). The Aspiring Training Squad aims to provide an opportunity for players to build upon their current knowledge, skills, tactics and aid in their continued development at this age and stage. The squad training will vary week to week, due to varying expertise within the team player base and no designated coach.

Samuel Codd, Denny Yang, Reuben Swan
