LOCAL TRIAL DAY – Monday 30th March, 2015
VENUE: Shepley Oval, Pultney Street, Dandenong
TIME: 5pm
ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS: This squad is for any young male turning 15 or 16 in 2015 that is either born overseas, has a parent born overseas or is of Indigenous heritage.
The Jimmy Toumpas Squad gives multicultural boys aged between 15-17 years old that have never played Australian Football an entry point to the elite talent pathway. The program is also designed for Indigenous and multicultural boys trying to get onto a TAC Cup list. This is a 10 week program designed to fast track the participant’s football development, to develop their football skills to play Australian Football and provide great education at the same time. The education sessions consist of a Reach Foundation talk that deliver youth empowerment workshops, AFL player mentoring, Nutritional talks from AFL dieticians, Leadership sessions and many more.
The program will conclude with matches against other TAC Cup diversity squads. At the conclusion of the program participants may be offered a spot on the main list of the Dandenong Southern Stingrays Under 15’s Under 16’s or Under 18’s TAC Cup Squad. In 2014 the TAC Cup competition provided 60% of young men were drafted into AFL clubs. The Jimmy Toumpas Squad is giving the participants in our Diversity squad a genuine pathway and opportunity to be drafted into the AFL.
