Attention all Players for U11 Monash Kangaroos 2008

The Under 10A's in 2007 have developed a style that has been very affective and a pleasure to watch. As we strive to be the measuring stick and remain competitive as it is important that we continually look to improve in all areas. For the 2008 season, all positions will be up for grabs, in which existing players must renominate and will have to make themselves available for second and third round trials. New players will have to make themselves available for all three rounds.

Existing players already know the high standards that they have created and achieved along with the Coaches and the Club It is important that any player that is expressing interest for next year understands the commitment that might be required some weeks. I.e. extra training or futsal sessions.

For the 2008 Season, the team will focus on;

Understanding and working on the football principals.
Developing and Creating combination play.
Conditional and Coordination training
Fundamentals of Futsal

As part of the trial process, Players will have to meet Beep test minimum requirements (requirements tbc) and the ability to demonstrate basic skills (heading, juggling, passing receiving etc). The 2 most important factors of selection will be the ability to work as part of the team (Philosophy that the team is bigger and more important than the player) and the ability to listen and learn. A perfect example we have this year is that we have two first year players that have made the starting line up for most if not all the year.

Finally, next season we are looking for Motivated Players and Parents that favours development over winning, understands the concept that the player must comply with team rules and enjoy being part of a competitive environment. It is important that we have proactive families that want to join and be a part of OUR Family (Monash JSC) and most of all to have fun.

I look forward to speak to those by phone or email who are interested and would love to be part of a side that is ambitious and enthusiastic.
