Northern Heat program getting hotter this summer
THE highly successful Northern Heat program will return across the 2023/24 off season to provide selected players with the chance to take their game to the next level.
In exciting news for the program, this summer will see a girls squad for the first time.
The Heat program exists to build the footy IQ of players, transition them towards Senior footy, and to offer an alternate talent identification pathway.
In addition to AFL specific skills and game sense development, the program includes strength and conditioning training, and match play against high level opponents from outside the region.
The program features the best male and female players from both the AFL North West and AFL North Coast regions born in 2007 or 2008.
Players that meet this criteria that wish to be considered must complete the online nomination form by Wednesday, September 27 and attend the selection trial in Coffs Harbour on Friday, October 6 at C.ex Coffs International Stadium (the same date and venue of the QBE Sydney Swans Academy trials).
