The regional trials to find this year’s team take place in January to March in venues across the country. Players must be aged 16 or over, have a valid UK passport and be classed as homeless - which may mean living in a hostel, in supported accommodation or staying in insecure accommodation - such as sleeping on a friend’s floor. Players must attend the first round of trails to be considered for the England team.
Anyone wishing to attend the trials should call Richard Brown on 07971 161 645.
