2026 U9 – U12 Kangaroo Trials (Rnd 2)

Trials for the Kangaroo teams will be held in February:

• U9-U12 Kangaroo – express interest here

ENSURE YOU CHECK THE DATES/TIMES AND LOCATION FOR THE CORRECT AGE GROUP 

Preparing for trials:

Ensure you have submitted an expression of interest to trial:

• Wear your Southside Eagles training kits if you have one, or other suitable training kit
• All players must wear shin pads and football boots
• Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start time
• Please bring a water bottle with your name clearly visible
• Parents and guardians must sit in the designated area – at no time can a parent or guardian stand on the field or sideline, nor coach a player from the sidelines and you may be asked to leave the grounds if you do not respect this rule

What happens after trials?

• Trial leads and coaches work with the Club’s Technical Director to decide the make-up of each team
• Successful players will receive a Letter of Offer from the club stating the outcome of the trial
• Parents/guardians must accept the offer and pay a deposit by the due date – if the offer is not accepted and deposit not paid by the due date, the position may be released to another player
• Unsuccessful players will be invited to submit an EOI to play in a Quokka, Wallaby or divisional team

We understand that this can be a very emotional time for some players and parents/guardians – if you would like to provide feedback on your trial experience, please reach out to the technical team.

Please note that the Club has adopted a zero tolerance to abusive behaviour policy. Any form of abuse, harassment or bullying towards our staff and volunteers will not be tolerated
