  • Six open sessions across the final three weeks of November 2026 — attend as many as you can. MiniRoos and Pre-Academy U10 · U11 run at the same time.
  • U12 Metro trials with the Academy — see the Boys & Men calendar above.
  • Why open sessions: MiniRoos and Pre-Academy hold open trials / training in November 2026 so teams can be placed and selected before the season — both run at the same sessions.
  • Register in your age group: players register in their actual age group and are allocated to teams accordingly — a strong U9 team may play U11.
  • What to bring: boots, shin pads, a drink bottle and both a light and dark training top. Goalkeepers bring gloves.
