Academy Trails for 2025 Season

14 Oct

After the success of the Team Selection sessions in 2023, we have decided to continue with running our Academy Team Selection sessions in Term 4. Traditionally, we have held a one-off “Team Selection” day where players gather to showcase their ability in the hopes of securing a place in our academy teams. While this approach has served us well in the past, we believe it's time to embrace a more comprehensive and holistic method that will not only benefit the players but also contribute to the overall growth of our club.

This year, we will be having a 3-week selection process consisting of 6 sessions for 14th , 15th and 17th Grade players to attend and be seen by the coaching staff here at the club. Only players interested in being in the Cashmere Tech Academy teams should attend and if players want to play in our Development Teams (Division 1) and in the grades below that we will run a Team Selection Day like we have done in previous years in February 2025.

All players must register. All current Academy players MUST register also

All the Team Selection days will be at Whittington Avenue. Players are to sign in each day on arrival.
