2027 JSC TEAMS

Successful Players – If your child is named in the top 16 Playing Squad they MUST register on the Payment Link Below by Sunday 25th October to secure their spot. Extensions cannot given. Paid Shadows will be pulled into the squads of 16 if named players fail to register on time.

Shadow Players – Shadows are named in order of who will be brought into the team, in the event of a withdrawal from the 16 playing squad. To secure your childs spot as a shadow player you MUST register and order a playing uniform (Top and Bottoms) by Midnight Sunday 25th October. Failure to pay on time will forfeit the shadow position.

Players Pool – If your child was unsuccessful or could not attend the trials they can be eligible for the Players Pool. Players pool is a pool of players that QLD Oztag can pull from to fill other teams in other regions that may need additional players for State Cup. For Example – Your child is 12 Boys, and Townsville 12 Boys needs additional players. Qld Oztag can allocate your child to that team for the tournament. If they are assigned to non-local regions they are welcome to train with the Jets teams to keep their skills up, and then they would play with their allocated team on the weekend of the tournament. If your child would be interested in this option, please EMAIL caloundra@oztag.com with your childs NAME, DOB, and INTERESTED IN PLAYERS POOL and we can discuss next steps. Placement is not guaranteed but refunds will be given should your child not be placed in a team.
