Player Trials 2021

PLAYER TRIALS (Wellington United and BNU Alliance) 

The Alliance is a collaboration between the two clubs. It also allows those players that wish to play at a premier level the opportunity to play in the strongest competition possible. This helps ensure that players play with those of a similar ability and therefore in an appropriate grade. This benefits all players whether they end up in a club or alliance team.

The trials are intended to be a fun, enjoyable experience for the kids and will be a mix of drills and games. We would encourage all players to trial.​ If a player wishes to be considered for an Alliance team they must attend trials. If your child wishes to trial for an Alliance team but is not available – then you must let us know prior to 20 February.

We realise some players may wish to only be considered for teams within their home club. If this is the case they do not need to trial.

Players must be registered with either WU or BNU to trial. Please ensure you have registered and paid by the 20 February. You can register for Wellington United here.
​
Please wear football boots and shin pads. Please bring a drink bottle.

Any changes /postponements will be placed on the facebook pages of  WU and BNU
