The reallocated zones also include Wodonga, Wangaratta, and other surrounding towns such as Euroa, Mansfield and Benalla, which are held by the AFL’s Punt Road tenants until the end of 2027.
Collaborating with athlete talent search and identification company SportsKey, the Blues are conducting a comprehensive assessment of applicable Shepparton multicultural and Indigenous talent born in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Both girls and boys that are aspiring athletes from all sporting backgrounds are welcome to register for the data-driven testing day on Saturday, February 7 at Notre Dame College.
Opposed to standard fitness testing, SportsKey analyses potential in young talent through concentration on growth, movement, skill and perceptual cognitive abilities.
Those interested must fall in line with the AFL’s NGA guidelines however - eligible athletes of multicultural descent include those with African, Asian, South American and Pacific Island backgrounds, as well as Indigenous youngsters from the region.
Spots are limited and registration is on a first-registered, first-served basis.
