Tryout Attendance Encouragement
To maximise the likelihood of selection for a representative team, athletes are strongly encouraged to attend as many tryout sessions as possible. Each session provides valuable opportunities for coaches to assess skills, teamwork, and consistency, key factors in the selection process.
Regular attendance also demonstrates commitment and allows athletes the best opportunity across multiple sessions, which is particularly important when competition for places is high.
