Hills Hornets Touch is very pleased to announce the following teams and train-on squads for Junior State Cup 2018. Train on squads will be put through 2 – 3 more training sessions before a final team for each division is announced on Monday 6 November. Training times and dates are listed with the squads below, and will take place at Wrights Rd Reserve (unless otherwise indicated).
To those who have been selected, congratulations on making it through this first step. The trials were extremely competitive in most age divisions, with selectors having to make many difficult decisions.
Requirements
- It is mandatory that all squad members attend the scheduled train-on squad sessions to be eligible for final team selection.
- Players who are named in a finalised team are required to attend a minimum of 80% of scheduled training sessions.
- Attendance at both the Scorpions & Parramatta Gala Days is mandatory (see dates below).
- All players must have registered and played in a qualifying number of games in the Hills Hornets local competition in either the autumn or spring season of 2017 to be eligible for final team selection.
Failure to meet these requirements will mean forfeiting the position in the squad or team.

As you are aware the interest in the U12 age division this year was unprecedented. There were many good players who have missed out on the U12’s team.
As a result Hills Hornets will be running an Under 12’s development team.
This team will be coached by a group of coaches that includes NSW and Australian players, current Sydney Scorpions coaches, and the winning coach from the recent National Youth Championships.
The team will also be competing at gala days and will finish their campaign with a 2 day championship at Nelsons Bay.
The team will execute the same drills and moves as the U12’s JSC team. It will allow us to use the team as a pool of players who can be called upon as shadows for the u12’s JSC team if the need arises.
I encourage all players who want to be the best touch football player they can be, to accept the invitation to participate in the 2017 U12 Development Team. If you wish to trial again next season, this will certainly give you an understanding of the specific touch skills and style of play selectors are looking for.
The following players have been invited to participate. To accept the invitation please complete the survey at this link: https://www.hillshornetstouch.com/quiz/u12-dev-team-survey/
