Trial Acknowledgement & Selection Policy

  1. District trials are sports trials run by volunteer officials within each district.
  2. Schools must ensure students nominated for 10–12 years district trials meet the eligibility and capability criteria, including age requirements, appropriate skill standard for district-level participation, and readiness to compete safely.
  3. Officials are chosen based on competency & knowledge in the sport / event.
  4. To ensure transparency and fairness, multiple officials collaborate on the final selections in accordance with the district's trial procedures.
  5. This process is the standard procedure for all district trials.
  6. Any successful selection is based on the standard of performance on the trial day and the selection panels' decision is final.
  7. By schools allowing students to participate in a trial, all parents/carers acknowledge acceptance of this process.
