UWA COACH & SELECTION COMMITTEE
UWA Uni Games Training will commence in approximately 3 weeks (venue, day and time TBC), with one 2hr session per week. Candidates for the selection committee will ideally have Nationals-level experience and be able to attend training for the first 3-4 weeks, at which point they will select a reduced training squad. The selection committee will comprise both UWA representatives and members of the wider WA Ultimate community.
Coaching applicants will be required to attend training each week up until Uni Games. It is likely that there will be extra training sessions and scratch matches on weekends in the lead up to Uni Games. Candidates will ideally have Nationals-level experience and preference will be given to those who can attend Uni Games. Some financial support from UWA Sports and/or the club may be possible to help the succesful applicant attend.

Preliminary training and tryouts for Uni Games will start 2-3 weeks after Nationals. Date/Time/Venue to be confirmed. All UWA students (and interested non-students) are encouraged to come along. We hope to have a preliminary squad (not necessarily the AUG team) selected by the end of Semester 1.
