About Our Senior Program
Joining Northern Stars means becoming part of a supportive, development-focused environment where athlete growth, culture, and long-term potential come first. Our goal is to provide every player with the best opportunity to progress, learn, and integrate into our club community. Unlike many other clubs, Northern Stars does not hold traditional single-session trials. Instead, player assessments take place throughout the Off-Season and Pre-Season, allowing coaches to see athletes across multiple sessions.
This approach provides a better understanding of each player’s skills, consistency, and potential, while giving players more opportunities to develop and showcase their abilities in a low-pressure environment. It also helps build stronger, more cohesive squads for the upcoming season.
Participation in the off-season program does not require committing to the club for the following season, but it serves as our trial period for squad selection. It is also a great way for a new player to experience the club environment and culture.
Program Structure
• In-Season (April- September): Focuses on team cohesion and performance. Coaches prioritise executing game systems and building the team’s ability to perform collectively. Individual progress happens gradually due to weekly match demands.
• Off-Season (October-December): Focuses on individual skill development. Players work on building new tools and improving capabilities without the pressure of weekly matches. This is when most individual progress occurs.
• Pre-Season (January-March): Focuses on integration and team systems. Players develop the ability to perform within the club’s structures, preparing them to move between divisions and perform effectively in team settings.
Expressions of interest open during the off-season. Please follow us on our social media pages to keep up to date and don’t hesitate to contact us for further questions.
