Development Squad Trials: Run Through of the Day

On the trial mornings, the first trial session will run from 8:30-10:00 a.m. and the second session 10:30-12:00pm, with KANO and Nominated Parent Coaches. 

• All Players are to see the Registration Desk to be marked in attendance and receive their trial number before their trial time starts.

• DevSquad Uniforms: Once you've registered, you will be able to see and try on the DevSquad Training Jerseys. Please provide your size to the nominated person nearby before you leave. The Pennant Hills FC Playing Kit (worn on weekend games) will be available to view.

• Parents are to remain at the grounds for the duration of the trial, seating is provided on one side (carpark side) of the synthetic field. 

• We ask for all parents to avoid standing on the synthetic field to allow Coaches and Players maximum space during the trials.

• The sessions will run for approximately 90 minutes and include three key phases of assessment that flow naturally into one another. 

• Players will be grouped together based on the age group they have been registered for. 

Main objectives for the trials are to:

• Assess players’ individual technical abilities (first touch, dribbling, defending).

• Observe their decision-making in small-group environments.

• Evaluate how they apply their skills in realistic match scenarios.

• Observe players' attitude, effort and commitment to being apart of a DevSquad team.

The format for each trial will include 3 areas:

1. Individual Assessments

2. Small-sided Possession Games

3. 5v5 / 7v7 Match Play

At the end of your trial session, you are welcome to leave and there is no need to see registration desk again.
