Trials will be open to new and existing players wishing to be considered for Adelaide Olympic's junior teams for the 2027 season.

Please note: MiniRoos (U6–U9) players are not required to attend trials.

Official 2027 Trials will be released shortly. 

Each age group will participate in three trial sessions, with players expected to attend a minimum of two sessions to be considered for selection.

A detailed schedule, including age group dates and times, will be released when registrations open.

All trials will take place at the home of Adelaide Olympic Football Club:
L3 Football Stadium
2/46 Cowan Street, Angle Park SA

Players will need to arrive 30 minutes prior to their scheduled session to complete registration and collect player identification stickers.

Players should bring:

• Football boots

• Shin guards (mandatory)

• Training attire

• A labelled water bottle

• Goalkeeper gloves (goalkeepers only)

Throughout the trial period, players will participate in a combination of technical activities, small-sided games and match play, allowing coaches to assess players across multiple sessions.

Selections will be based on a range of factors including technical ability, game understanding, attitude, effort, coachability and overall potential.

Our goal is to place every player in the environment that best supports their ongoing development.

MiniRoos players do not participate in trials.

Instead, Adelaide Olympic will host a Come & Try Day before the commencement of the season. This is a fun opportunity for new and returning players to meet our coaches, enjoy football in a relaxed environment and experience what Adelaide Olympic is all about.

Following registration, players will be placed into age-appropriate teams based on their registration age.

Further information regarding the Come & Try Day will be released soon. Please keep an eye on our social media to find out more.
