Essendon Royals 2026 BVYPL Trials Update

Essendon Royals has been overwhelmed by the level of interest in our advanced boys’ program, with more than 1,000 EOIs received across all age groups. This reflects the growing reputation of our program and the outstanding work of our 2025 squads and coaches.

Given the high retention of players from our 2025 BVYPL and NPL squads, trials for the 2026 season will be conducted on an invite-only basis.

Invitations will be sent directly to selected players in the coming days, with full trial details and locations provided in that communication.

We thank everyone who expressed interest in joining the Royals and appreciate your enthusiasm for our BVYPL program.
