Emanuel Football Team Trials 

In 2021, we will be expanding the football program to include weekly inter-school fixtures during Term 2. This will be in addition to the CIS Football Cup and the CDSSA Football Gala Day that Emanuel takes part in each year. 

In the first few weeks of Term 1, trials will be held for the following teams:

• Emanuel First Boys Football Team (open to Years 8 – 12 boys)
• Emanuel Girls First Football Team (open to Years 7 – 12 girls)

Following trials, a squad will be selected to participate in the CIS Football Cup, the CDSSA Football Gala Day and the new Term 2 weekly competition. Please note that those selected in the squad will be required to attend weekly training sessions during Terms 1 and 2. 

If your child would like to trial, please have them submit the nomination form that was emailed to them. This form will also be available on the Parent Portal in mid January. Nominations need to be received by 27 January 2021.
