The head coach of England's U16 programme is inviting nominations from clubs for players eligible to compete in the 2010 European Championships. Nominated players should be born in 1994 or 1995.

 

The trials will be located around the country for convenience and will each last for 3 hours, with an initial cut if required halfway. Coaches are asked to send players that they believe have the abilities currently to make an England team, or maybe the athletic/tactical ability to progress into a National squad. All coaches are responsible for the nominations they make.

 

All trialists must be nominated prior to attendance for administration purposes.

 

To nominate a player for trial, download the nomination form.

 

If you are unable to send the form immediately, please email the PLAYER'S NAME and BIRTHDATE to head coach Simon Fisher straight away and return the form as soon as possible - englandu16men@aol.com.

Forms will be accepted on the day, but no players will be allowed to play without the form (except in exceptional circumstances).

 

The cost of the Trials will be £5 per player to contribute to the costs of court hire.
