IHNSW will be holding a combined 17U Midget tryout for all Sydney Clubs held at Liverpool Catholic Club Rink at 8.15am-10.15am on Sunday 15th February 2026.
Clubs will not be holding tryouts for 17U teams.
You will be asked your team preference for your 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th team to play for. All players wanting to play for any Sydney Metro Club – Bears, Emperors, Saints, Wolves – will try out together. This is about the Club you want to play for, not where you live or who you have played for before. If you are a 2nd year 15U Bantam in 2026 (2011 born) and you wish to play up to 17U Midget, you need to attend the tryouts to confirm your eligibility to play up. Permanent play up from 2nd year Bantam will also be assessed on this date. If you are unable to attend, you still sign up and answer the registration questions including your inability to attend.
Registration closes 48 hours before tryout. Registration link: here
