​

Trials & Team Selection

​

Trials will take place on December 17 and 20. 

​

As this is Binar Maali’s inaugural season in WABL, we will be re-trialling for all groups. This differs from other clubs who do not re-trial athletes after State Championships.

​

Athletes who represented Binar at State Championships are not guaranteed selection for WABL and will still need to participate in trials.

​

If an athlete is unable to attend a scheduled trial, they will need to complete the Exemption Form below. 

 ​

​All teams are selected by Binar’s Director of Player & Coach Development and the appointed lead coach for each age group, with input from our head coaches.
