Registration Close
Registrations for the trials will close on 31 January 2024 to enable club administration to prepare for the trials.
To make it convenient for parents and players, the club has implemented a streamlined online registration system. MLDCC requests all participating players complete all fields in the enclosed Google Forms link prior to the deadline to enable data collation / streamlining of trialists for each session being held.
Late registrations may not be accepted, so it's crucial to act promptly to secure your spot in the trials.
It may not be possible to assess players who present to trials without a valid prior registration due to limited pre-committed resources.
