04.01.2022 Bellarine Storm are seeking expressions of interest from junior players intending to try out for Storm VJBL teams in the 20/21 season. The current covid-19 restrictions mean that decisions on try out dates and the process of how try outs are conducted may vary from previous years and will be made at short notice. Expressions of interest give our staff the ability to understand how many players we are likely to have at tryouts for each age group so an appropriate try out can ...be arranged when government restrictions allow. It also enables us to ensure we have the required coaching staff for teams in each age group, and have the opportunity to seek information from coaches with knowledge of the player to assist in the selection process. It is important to note that due to covid-19 restrictions players will need to be pre-registered for tryouts through this process to ensure we are able to meet maximum numbers of participants and staff for each court during our tryouts.
