ACT’s youth teams have been undergoing final preparations before their trip to Coffs Harbour, on Thursday, to compete in the Australian u16 National Championships. This will be the first time the ACT has participated at national level in this age group.

The boys' team is coached by Canberra club players Dragan Radicoski and Rob Lans whilst Anke Winnig and Daniel Doring will lead the girls' team. The competition will also serve as a selection event for the national youth teams who are due to compete in New Caledonia later in the year. ACTHA wishes all the teams the best of luck in the competition.
