• Qualifying
  • As the Representative Program is representing MENA, we require all participants in the program to play with a MENA club during the domestic seasons with the exception being 14U & 17U Boys, 19Us and Open players who currently are encouraged, but not required to play on a Saturday or with a Wednesday night team. Players will need to have played enough games to qualify for finals in BOTH seasons Spring and Autumn or applicable competition seasons in 2026 and are expected to fully participate in their team’s season. Failure to meet this condition will result in a loss of a place in the program. Extenuating circumstances may be taken into account by the Rep Subcommittee. 

• 13U, 15U, 14U, Female & Male 17U, 19U and Open teams – Following trials, players will be selected into Age Group squads. Squads allow the opportunity for coaches to further observe players during training sessions in late January. Likewise, giving players a greater opportunity to demonstrate their ability and skills to coaches during these training sessions. U13, U15, U17, U19 and Open teams will be finalised and communicated before the season commencing at Waverley or earlier if possible, as determined by the Head Coach. 

• 11 & U players are selected as a development squad and will continue to be a squad for the 2026 season.
• For a guide about the MENA Representative program you can read the 2025 Handbook.  The 2026 Handbook will be available in October 2026.
