U 13/14 Joss State Zone Trials wrap

From Monday September 28 to Thursday October 1 a batch of NSW/ACT’s most promising under 13 and 14 players linked to the Swans or GIANTS’ Academies took part in the annual Joss State Zone Trials in Southern NSW.
The Albury Sports Ground and Albury City again provided young players from across the region the unique experience of living and breathing AFL football 24/7.
For many it was their first chance to be involved in the AFL NSW/ACT Joss Talent Program, providing them elite experiences and a potential stepping stone toward an AFL career.
The trials were an opportunity for players to demonstrate their abilities and heighten their development with unlimited access to key personnel for feedback and instruction.
Supported by experienced staff and coaches, the AFL NSW/ACT Joss Talent Program has spawned a host of household names who have gone on to impress at the highest level, highlighted most recently by boom Sydney Swans recruit Isaac Heeney, who featured at the Joss trials some six years ago.
Results from all four days of competition are posted below, as well as a video of highlights.
