To apply for the program, students in Year 7, 8, and 9 in 2026 must attend a try-out session scheduled for Term 4, 2025. The confirmation of this date will be communicated through social media and email to all Monterey Secondary College students and enrolments. Following the try-out session, students will be notified of their acceptance.
Year 7 students for 2026 should submit a written reference from their primary school PE teacher, highlighting their sporting and academic achievements during Years 4-6, their attitude and behaviour, willingness to participate, and overall sportsmanship.
