Essendon Royals confirm grading schedule for Season 2022 Community Football
Essendon Royals can confirm trial and grading dates for Community Football at the club in 2022.
2021 Registered Essendon Royals players who will play under-13s and below in 2022 need only to attend grading if they are seeking to trial for a spot in our Kanga squads.
All other Registered Essendon Royals players (U14 and above in 2022) must attend grading to confirm their spot.
New players are invited to trial.
ALL players, whether existing Royals players or prospective new Royals players, must complete the relevant form to register for the trials and grading process.
This not only helps us plan for numbers, but is also a crucial step in maintaining a COVID-safe environment.
The club has conducted an initial audit of existing players and we have numerous vacancies for U7 Boys and Girls and limited vacancies in the following:
- Girls from under-8 to under-16
- Boys from under-8 to under-20
