PSB training squad trial - April 1st.

A PSB (Primary School Boys) training squad trial will be held on Friday April 1st, from 5pm to 8pm at the Massey University Indoor nets. Be there at least 15 minutes prior to your start time.

The primary reason for the trial is to select three preliminary PSB squads (Black, Burgundy and Green) with 16 boys in each in preparation for the PSB tournament 2011. The squads will be selected by squad Coaches.

The boys selected in each squad will be provided with an individualised program by your Coaches that you will each be required to undertake in the off-season.

In agreeing to trial for the preliminary PSB squads you are committing to the 2011 PSB program including:

• Following the plan your squad Coach sets for you in the off-season,
• Being available for the PSB Training program including all four indoor net coaching sessions to be held in September,
  
• Being available for weekly training sessions with your squad Coach from early September and into December,
• Being available for approximately four (or five) North Harbour matches to be held on a Sunday from September to December,
• Being available for the PSB tournament itself to be held from December 27th to December 31st.

In short, other obligations including other sporting obligations will be no reason for non attendance at any of the above.

Selection in the PSB preliminary squad is no guarantee of final selection in a PSB team. It is simply a head-start that gains you entry into the PSB program. The final selection for the four PSB teams for the tournament itself is likely to be in October/November and will be based upon form and team balance issues.
