2018 Dodgeroos Open Trial
The 2018 World Cup takes place in New York City from August 3 – 4 at Madison Square Garden. In preparation for the event, Dodgeball Federation Australia will be hosting an exclusive Open Trial for players who weren’t included in the Preliminary Stages (Stages 1 & 2) of the Dodgeroos Academy / trial process.
The Australian Dodgeroos Academy launched in December, 2017 with overwhelming success. The academy oversees a large crop of talent, training under the guidance of our national team coaches.
2018 Criteria for Dodgeroos Academy Players, Trialists and Selection:
An exclusive training session will be held for 2018 ADPL players (currently not in the Dodgeroos Academy) on Saturday, February 24. Players will only be in contention for selection if actively playing in the upcoming ADPL season.
Players who are successful in the Open Trial, will move into the Extended Squad: Stage 3 (view Timeline below).
